“…A focus on (double) voicing/heteroglossia and discourse has much to offer to the study of fatherhood and masculinity as well as to the study of language and identity more generally. Its potential lies in particular in the ability to capture the interplay between micro-and macro levels of socio-culturally and interactionally constructed identity, an interplay which ought to be central to the study of language and identity (see Bucholtz and Hall's 2005 positionality principle;Pichler 2019) and to the study of hegemonic and intersectional masculinity in particular (Christensen and Qvotrup-Jensen, 2014;Milani, 2015). This polyphony of voices in the talk of the young southeast London men tended to go hand in hand with a polyphony of discourses which informed the young men's positioning in general, and constructions of fatherhood in particular.…”

“…On the other side there is interactional sociolinguistic and=or discourse analytic work on voices, including the present article, which does not foreground a phonological assessment of voicing contrasts. Instead, this work is concerned with the ways in which speakers evaluate and position themselves in relation to the voices they invoke (Tannen 1989(Tannen , 2004Maybin 2006;Pichler 2009;Bodó, Szabó, & Turai 2019). Although many of these linguistic studies apply Bakhtin's conceptualisations to spoken language, definitions of 'voice' and foci of analysis still vary, with some focusing predominantly on quotations and dialogue (e.g.…”

This article provides an insight into the heteroglossic and intersectional construction of fatherhood in the self-recorded, spontaneous talk of a group of young men from ethnically and racially mixed working-class backgrounds in southeast London. By adopting an interactional sociolinguistic approach, informed by Bakhtin's (1981, 1984, 1986) work on dialogicality and Tannen's (1989, 2004) notion of constructed dialogue, this article explores the young men's use of voices for their positioning in a range of fathering discourses which are shaped by and shape intersectional and hegemonic masculinities. Intersections of race, ethnicity, and social class inform many of the young men's positions, especially in their talk about the influences of hip hop on their children. This polyphony of voices allows the group to balance traditional discourses of fathers as providers, protectors, and moral guides with contemporary models of intimate and involved fatherhood, but also competing discourses of virile masculinity and bad boy identity.
