description This paper starts with issues of terminology about stance and stance-taking phenomena; it then examines examples of stance-taking phenomena, in the form of discursive readjustments. Indeed, the latter enable the enunciator, either to confirm their initial stance in re-asserting their engagement in relation to a first discursive content, or to partially disengage from this first content by modulating it. The enunciator can also totally disengage from the initial content while taking a new stance. Cases of co-construction taking place in the stance-taking process are also examined, when the co-speaker is asked to take part in the process of enunciative construction or when they take the initiative to do so. The corresponding devices, taking the form of repairs, confirmations, upgrading or downgrading processes, as well as distance-taking phenomena, are examined on the basis of authentic examples extracted from various corpora of contemporary English.
