Using an ethnographic methodology and a network analysis of the social roles and relationships in a particular language community, the book explores how speakers negotiate status, relationship, and ultimately contest power through discourse. Of chief concern to the study is how speakers manage to negotiate relationship roles — which here consists of institutional status as well as the more variable social standing — using conversation. Discourse is seen to be not only what people say, but how they say it — how speakers take the floor, bring new topic to the floor, interrupt each other, and become a resource person in a conversation. The study revolves around the idea that power, while intricately tied to social standing and institutional status, is more than the sum of one’s institutional standing, age, education, race and gender. Though these factors convey rank, conversants nonetheless use discourse to jockey for position and contest their relational role vis-a-vis their discourse partners. While institutional standing may be more or less fixed, power of relational roles fluctuates greatly because, as the study shows, power is accorded through a process of ratifying the positive self-image of a speaker. Thus, one’s standing in a group is a community negotiation. By investigating power in community at a micro-level of analysis, this study adds a new dimension to existing understandings of power. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/pbns.40.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027250520.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027250520.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/pbns.40.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/pbns.40.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/pbns.40.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/pbns.40.hb.png 01 01 JB code pbns.40.01tab 06 10.1075/pbns.40.01tab v Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Table of Contents Table of Contents 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.02ack 06 10.1075/pbns.40.02ack viii Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.03int 06 10.1075/pbns.40.03int 1 Introduction 3 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.04lan 06 10.1075/pbns.40.04lan 27 Chapter 4 01 04 Language in a Social Context Language in a Social Context 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.05ver 06 10.1075/pbns.40.05ver 47 Chapter 5 01 04 Verbal Interaction: Balancing Individual and Group Wants Verbal Interaction: Balancing Individual and Group Wants 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.06the 06 10.1075/pbns.40.06the 85 Chapter 6 01 04 The Consensual View of Power The Consensual View of Power 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.07pow 06 10.1075/pbns.40.07pow 143 Chapter 7 01 04 Power and Status in the Community Power and Status in the Community 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.08app 06 10.1075/pbns.40.08app 159 Miscellaneous 8 01 04 Appendix Appendix 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.09bib 06 10.1075/pbns.40.09bib 161 Miscellaneous 9 01 04 Bibliography Bibliography 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.10sub 06 10.1075/pbns.40.10sub 173 Miscellaneous 10 01 04 Subject Index Subject Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.40.11aut 06 10.1075/pbns.40.11aut 179 Miscellaneous 11 01 04 Author Index Author Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/pbns.40 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 19960315 C 1996 John Benjamins Publishing Company 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 3 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 99.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 3 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 149.00 USD 42009480 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code P&bns 40 Eb 15 9789027282682 06 10.1075/pbns.40 00 EA E107 10 01 JB code P&bns 02 0922-842X 02 40.00 01 02 Pragmatics & Beyond New Series Pragmatics & Beyond New Series 11 01 JB code jbe-all 01 02  EBA collection (ca. 4,100 titles) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-all 01 02 Complete backlist (3208 titles, 1967–2015) 05 02 Complete backlist (1967–2015) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-pbns 01 02 Pragmatics & Beyond New Series (vols. 1–259 1988–2015) 05 02 P&bns (vols. 1–259, 1988–2015) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-linguistics 01 02 Subject collection: Linguistics (2773 titles, 1967–2015) 05 02 Linguistics (1967–2015) 11 01 JB code jbe-2015-pragmatics 01 02 Subject collection: Pragmatics (804 titles, 1978–2015) 05 02 Pragmatics (1978–2015) 01 01 Status and Power in Verbal Interaction A study of discourse in a close-knit social network Status and Power in Verbal Interaction: A study of discourse in a close-knit social network 1 A01 01 JB code 1517 Julie Diamond Diamond, Julie Julie Diamond 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/1517 01 eng 11 188 03 03 viii 03 00 184 03 01 20 306.4/4 03 1996 P302.84 04 Discourse analysis--Social aspects. 04 Sociolinguistics. 04 Power (Social sciences) 10 LAN009000 12 CF 24 JB code LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB code LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB code LIN.SOCIO Sociolinguistics and Dialectology 01 06 02 00 Part of the "Pragmatics and Beyond" series, this text covers such topics as language in a social context, the consensual view of power in discourse, and power and status in the community. 03 00 Status and Power in Verbal Interaction is a sociolinguistic study of conversation in a social context.
