    In one of his last papers (“Radio Talk,” 1981), Erving Goffman reflected on two themes that will be useful for this chapter. One is the notion of faultables: elements in an individual's linguistic performance that either the speaker or the listener can find fault with, or can find reasons to try to repair or to counter. As Goffman remarks about these trouble spots, a faultable “can be almost anything”; a faultable does not.How Mr Taylor Lost His Footing - forthcoming - Stance: Sociolinguistic Perspectives: Sociolinguistic Perspectives.

    In monolingual contexts, speakers take stances by using a variety of linguistic forms, some of which are sociolinguistically salient. In bilingual contexts, speakers have an added stance resource: language choice. The significance of language choice is, of course, related to the specifics of the sociolinguistic context, including the political economy in which the two languages circulate as well as ideologies about language.Alexandra Jaffe - forthcoming - Stance: Sociolinguistic Perspectives: Sociolinguistic Perspectives.

    In this chapter I aim to demonstrate the necessity of ethnographic research for the study of resources for indirect stancetaking and how they are deployed in naturally occurring speech situations through an account of a family of modal constructions in Sakapultek, a Mayan language spoken in highland Guatemala. 1 The constructions in question share many characteristics with constructions that have been analyzed as ironic in English, and I dub them “moral irony,” due both to their similarities to irony.Robin Shoaps - forthcoming - Stance: Sociolinguistic Perspectives: Sociolinguistic Perspectives.
