This paper maintains that the interview, understood as an interactionally achieved social practice, can be a locus for ideological
work. It shows how a differentiated understanding of stance, alignment and the discourse identities that the participants assume
and leave in interaction, can bring into focus aspects of ideology that would be difficult to capture otherwise. Specifically, the
paper shows how mis- and realigning actions with respect to the stances conveyed by the interview participants relative to a given
subject or from a given discourse identity can lead to the construction of ideology, encouraging (or not) movement along a given
interview trajectory. The ideological work observed is contingent on how the participants locate themselves and others in the
interview where tensions between legitimised linguistic views and discourse identity adoption, as well as contradictions with
regard to other circulating discourses emerge. The paper thus suggests that (language ideological) analyses of interview data can
and should be focused on the social dynamics of the participants and how their ideological presuppositions play out in the
situated interaction of the interview.
