Introduction
This volume addresses a variety of issues and perspectives on Stance and Inter/Subjectivity, and the ways in which Identity is reflected in the discourse. From a theoretical standpoint, the volume brings together different perspectives on the multifaceted nature of stance (Biber and Finegan 1989; Englebretson 2007). Most studies in the literature focus on one of the main dimensions of stance, such as epistemicity (Biber et al. 1999), evaluation (Thompson and Hunston 2000; Thompson and Alba-Juez 2014), appraisal (Martin & White 2005), affect and emotion (Ochs and Schieffelin 1989; DuBois and Kärkkäinen 2012), as well as stancetaking and dialogicality (DuBois 2007), or identity and the sociolinguistics of stance (Jaffe 2009).
