Second Language User Identities in Stories of Intercultural Communication: A Case Study
Nasrollahi Shahri, Mohammad Naseh
Language and Intercultural Communication, v19 n4 p342-356 2019
The study examines second language identities constructed in small stories around intercultural communication. It presents a detailed narrated-event and narrating-event analysis of small stories narrated by an Iranian user of English as a second language (ESL). The analysis suggests that small stories can become a site where second language speakers can accomplish several social actions concerning their intercultural identities. The participant of the study employed various discursive strategies to create a sense of affinity with the interviewer, convey a sense of his own distinction and reconfigure native/nonnative speaker (NS/NNS) power relations in discourse.
