Abstract
Abstract
This study investigates family conflict talk in a computer-mediated environment from a language-in-interaction focus. It is based
on two different data sets of six WhatsApp groups that feature arguing British families, and of six WhatsApp groups that feature
arguing Spanish families. It looks at the different linguistic strategies that participants deploy when taking up opposing stances
on a given issue. Through a detailed discourse analysis of the conflict-based episodes in English and Spanish, the results not
only show a differentiated linguistic process in the way(s) in which the study participants managed conflict, but also suggest
that smartphone-mediated interpersonal conflict needs to be understood as an attempt to inhabit legitimate subject positions in
and through discourse.
