The interrelation between social role and position in the manifestation of the interactional conflict

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how the positions associated with social roles manifested in a political interview results in conflict during the interaction. Anchored in the sociointeractional studies of Linguistics, the paper operates with theoretical relation between social role, position and conflict, underpinning, among others, by Weizman (2008), XXXXX (2018a) and Haugh and Sinkeviviute (2018, 2019). The analyzed interview was taken from the television program Roda Viva from TV Cultura, broadcasted live on 07/30/2018, in which the guest was then the presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro. This interview is part of the corpus of the research project XXX, which consists of four more interviews of the mentioned program, covering various political scenarios in Brazil over the last twenty years. From a qualitative and interpretative approach, the assessment highlights that the positions, related to social roles, are interactionally disputed, through sequences of conflict permeated by interactional strategies such as accusations and disagreements.
