“…Speakers' choice of pronouns, as well as their social orientations, is context-sensitive as they adapt to aspects of the context to be appropriate and relevant (McKenna, 2004). As Fasulo andZucchermaglio (2002: 1121) explain personal pronouns are "dependent on context for their (referential) meaning". Thus, interactants' subjective interpretations of contextual features, such as who is speaking, to and of whom, when, where, topic of the conversation, and (institutional) roles will guide interactants' positioning and discursive choices and their understandings of these (van Dijk, 2006).…”

Abstract:The relevance of social norms for understanding appropriate behaviour in context has taken central stage in (im)politeness research in recent years, and particularly in studies of workplace interaction (Holmes, 2012). As an example of this research, this paper explores the way in which a group of nurses interacting with their colleagues negotiates complaints. The data were collected in a ward of a public healthcare institution in New Zealand and consist of audio and video recordings of four roster meetings involving nurses and nurse managers. Instances of nurses' complaints are explored from an interactional sociolinguistic point of view, allowing the researcher to investigate emergent facework (drawing on Locher and Watts, 2005). The findings suggest that multiple ingroup and outgroup memberships, achieved through the dynamic use of personal pronouns, enact preferred politic behaviour for both, transactional and relational goals. In addition, nurses' convergence in their display of socio-pragmatic norms governing their complaining practices suggests that this group of nurses belongs to the same workplace community. Finally, strong emphasis is placed on the role that complaining plays in the positive presentation of nurses' identities.

“…The choice among these options is guided by social factors, such as the relationship between the participants, their roles, and the object of the interaction (Ochs, Gonzales, & Jacoby, 1996;Fasulo & Zucchermaglio, 2002).…”

In this paper we analyze identity in a soccer team using a discursive perspective, in which individual psychological functioning is considered to be built in and through social interactions within groups. Analysis is based on naturally-occurring interactions that were audio recorded during technical meetings before and after the match. The data were collected within an ethnographic investigation of an Italian soccer team carried out over a two-month period. The results show that the team's members made rhetorical use of a complex repertoire of their own and others' social identities, and that two main variables influenced the use of social identity markers: a) the role of the speakers (in particular the "power" role of the coach); b) the result of the match around which the interactive discourse revolved. Against this background, we discuss how narratives and identity positionings were used to achieve specific goals and to perform specific actions, such as the planning of future matches and the interpretation of victories and defeats.

“…(Fasulo andZucchermaglio 2002: 1122) I being 'in principle the least ambiguous' does not mean, however, that I occurs only in a very restricted set of contexts. It simply indicates that other personal pronouns can be vaguer when employed.…”
