A fundamental property of human language is its ability to simultaneously represent subjects, objects or events, and express the speaker’s stance towards these representations. The notion of stance-taking involves a positioning along three different axes: epistemic (the distribution of knowledge, e.g., by expressing certainty or uncertainty), affective (the expression of attitudes and feelings), and deontic (the expression of desirability or necessity of an action). (Psycho)linguistics and neighboring fields have a long track record in the study of stance-taking as a socially contextualized and recognized interpersonal phenomenon, focusing on the lexical and grammatical resources that language users have at their disposal to communicate stance, but also on the cognitive processes underlying this positioning. In addition, the phenomenon has been studied extensively in different communicative settings (from spontaneous face-to-face communication to institutional and mediated forms of interaction), from different disciplinary angles (Interactional Linguistics, Ethnomethodology, Cognitive Psychology, HCI Research, etc.) and using different empirical methods (from controlled experiments to qualitative and quantitative corpus analysis).
