Imaginary Positions

IRs are recognizable routines of arguments, descriptions, and evaluations found in people's talk that form relatively consistent language units. They highlight inconsistencies within different routines shared by groups and accumulate to form collective commonsense. IRs can be opposing or ideologically grounded, revealing cultural resources available for making sense of issues. They show how speakers draw on shared cultural knowledge to construct accounts.
