Abstract Stance plays a salient role in communicating interpersonal meaning through language use. Understanding stance as co-constructed within dialogic interaction uncovers subtleties of how interlocutors use language to express their subjectivities and thus, negotiate their interpersonal relationship. The notion of face and facework, or relational work (Locher 2004), is therefore relevant to the understanding of stance in interaction. Drawing on Du Bois’ (2007) stance triangle, our study analyzes oppositional stance in a single, extended interaction and shows how two interlocutors in an academic setting jointly construct oppositional stance, each by drawing on their own interpretations. Our analysis indicates that this co-constructed oppositional stance is enacted throughout three broader stages, which we call initiation, negotiation, and resolution. We also demonstrate that expressing oppositional stance is a complex process where interlocutors employ various discourse strategies to express pessimistic evaluation, shifting positionings, and (dis)alignment. Meanwhile, instances of oppositional stance become face-maintaining and face-challenging at different stages in which directness and indirectness are variably employed.

摘要姿态在通过语言使用传达人际意义方面扮演着重要角色。理解对话互动中共同建构的立场，揭示了对话者如何使用语言来表达其主观性并从而谈判他们的人际关系的微妙之处。因此，面子和面子工作或关系工作的概念（Locher 2004）与理解交互作用中的立场有关。我们的研究借鉴了杜波依斯（Du Bois，2007）的立场三角，在一个单一的，扩展的互动中分析了反对派的立场，并展示了学术环境中的两名对话者如何通过各自的解释共同建构反对派的立场。我们的分析表明，在三个更广泛的阶段（即所谓的发起，谈判，和分辨率。我们还证明，表达对立立场是一个复杂的过程，在对话过程中，对话者采用各种话语策略来表达悲观的评价，转移立场和（失调）结盟。同时，对立立场的实例在可变地使用直接性和间接性的不同阶段变成保持面孔和挑战面孔。
