“…L accepted the decision made by the group members that he would present the essay. Being a supportive follower, L1 gave a token acknowledgement ‗yeah' in line 3 (Rashid, Yunus, & Wahab, 2018). As shown in line 4, L was buying time in organising his thoughts by taking a long pause before he revised his plan again in lines 7-8.…”

Identity construction is very much influenced by interactional competence. Having a high level of interactional competence enables students to convincingly construct their desired identities. Learners of English as a foreign language may have a problem constructing their desired identities, especially if they are not particularly fluent in the language. This paper discusses the identity construction engaged in by a group of Jordanian learners of English at Mutah University, Jordan. The observed group consisted of 12 postgraduate students, from different majors, who learn English as preparation for their TOEFL exams. Data were analysed using a conversation analysis approach. The analysis reveals that the students managed to use various linguistic strategies in constructing their desired identities, whilst at the same time were disapproving of the identities constructed by the other group members whenever they felt the identities were inappropriate. This paper concludes that the Jordanian learners have sufficient interactional competence to develop common identities with other group members in their attempt to successfully complete the task given.Contribution/ Originality: This paper contributes to the limited Conversation Analysis (CA) research in the Jordanian context. In addition, it provides novel insights into Arab learners' discursive behaviour in constructing their desired identities and displaying their interactional competence.

“…Thus, the notion of meaning is central to the study of the language and the most pervasive phenomena which intricate with diverse views of linguists. Many presuppositions in linguistics are essentially centred on meaning of words and range of references that are inherent in or related to or be part of meaning making such as context and discourse of use (Rashid, 2016;Rashid, Yunus, & Wahab, 2018). Notwithstanding, linguists have different views on language.…”

The language of the law as it is called “legalese” has very distinctive lexical and structural patterns which in many ways different from the “traditional forms of language”. Its conservatism is linked directly to the need for unambiguous language that has already been tried and tested in the courts. By retaining to traditional lexis and structure lawyers can be confident that the language of the law is consistent and precise. This study aims to give some insights on apparent lexico-grammatical features characterised legal phraseology. The present study adopts a corpus-based approach to investigate those distinctive features of legal phraseology such as the uses binomial words, colligation of prepositions, prefabricated word combinations directly prescribed by law, and their semantic functions. This overview compiles data from the books, and empirical studies as well as theoretical and conceptual works conducted in the premises of legal phraseology. Some implications for English for specific purposes are given.
