ABSTRACT
The Concept of Conflict in Sociolinguistic, Interactional and Narrative Studies: An Epistemological and Theoretical-Analytical Review revisits the definition of conflict in the studies of anthropology, linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, interactional sociolinguistics, and talk-in-interaction. We will also explore how linguistic communities are monitored and regulated by linguistic ideologies and prescriptions, resulting in linguistic conflicts. We will also discuss how conflict situations occur in social life interactions and, after that, they can be recalled and narrated, thus pointing to emic perspective and listing agendas of interactants and narrators. This article presents academic contributions, at microinterational and macro-social levels, with a focus on studies and conflict analysis, in communicative processes of talk-in-interaction and co-constructed conflict narratives.
