Abstract
Traditionally, formal linguistic approaches have assumed that a ective stance
(Ochs 1992, Ja e 2009) is not part of a linguistic expression's semantics,
although recent approaches have sought to integrate stance and other aspects of
social discourse into semantic approaches (McConnell-Ginet 2002, 2006, 2008;
Potts 2003, 2005). In this paper I will outline some of the de nitional and
methodological areas of concern in current stance research.
