Abstract
Based on Pragmatic Identity Theory, this study uses qualitative and quantitative research methods, and analyzes the conflict talk corpus collected from the television interview program Battle of Love, and investigates the identity construction and the use of linguistic resources in husband-wife conflict talk. The results show that in the conflict talk, the two sides of conflicts construct self-identity, the other party’s identity, and the third party’s identity. In these three types of identities, the most frequently constructed identity is the other party’s identity, followed by self-identity, and finally, the third party’s identity.
