  ABSTRACT: Building upon Du Bois’s Stance Triangle frame work by implementing a conversation analysis approach, this paper focuses on the two intersubjective acts in stance taking, namely positioning and alignment. With data collected from the transcripts of the CNN news program, Newsroom, are utilized as the data source for this analysis, which examines three ways of positioning for interviewers in turn: establishing the topic agendas or action agendas, setting the presupposition, and implying the preference of positive or negative responses. While responding in turn, interviewees are found to present convergent alignment through agreeing, deriving, reinforcing, and indicating divergent alignment through evading, disagreeing, and challenging.
