The present study has uncovered the process of stancetaking through which the
association between particular linguistic forms and social meanings is constructed in a call-in show program. It has observed the speaker’s Taiwanren identity and political stances (among which are stances toward nationality and political party). However, since this program is pan green-oriented, it is beyond this study’s limit to examine the stance-achieving linguistic devices in utterances from the pan blue-oriented
individuals. Moreover, it is out of the question to compare the different language use of stancetaking and identity demonstration among speakers from different politcal groups.
In addition, the analyses of this study mainly concern the production of call-in
contexts by the audience of the program. However, in Kiesling’s view (2009), linguistic differences are often found between men and women (e.g., “men are confrontational,” “women are servile”), and the gender issue is also important in sociolinguistic field. Hence, it is suggested that future research would better involve a gender analysis to further illustrate the impacts of discussed issues on both sexes’
demonstration of taking stances towards nationality and politics.
