通过分析男性个体的语境化话语,解释了美国大学兄弟会中变量ING的变异模式。虽然大多数兄弟会成员在每周例会上使用“方言”变体的比例较低,但有几个人使用的比例更高。我认为所有的索引对齐角色都与权力相关,但是这些对齐角色以不同的、可指定的方式具有强大的权力。定性话语分析表明,白话变体使用频率高的男性将工人阶级的文化模式和对抗立场作为身份展示的一部分,这是基于身体而非结构权力的。因此,该变量具有几种潜在的抽象社会意义,但具体的互动意义只能在语境化的实践中构建。
The variation patterns of the variable (ING) in an American college fraternity are explained by analyzing individual men’s contextualized discourse. While most of the fraternity men predictably use a lower rate of the ‘vernacular’ variant in weekly meetings, several men use a higher rate. I argue that all of the men index alignment roles associated with power, but that these alignment roles are powerful in different, specifiable ways. Qualitative discourse analysis shows that the men with high rates of the vernacular variant use (ING) to index working-class cultural models and confrontational stances, as part of identity displays based on physical, rather than structural, power. Thus, the variable has several potential abstract social meanings, but specific interactional meanings can only be constructed in contextualized practice.
