In this paper, I investigate how interviewers (IR) employ repeats of their interviewees’ (IEs’) prior turns to further their (IEs’) agenda and stance in Arabic broadcast news interviews. This study illustrates the use of questioning repeats as a conversational strategy for constructing alignments (and disalignments) in a specific socio-cultural context of political interviewing, and shows how such alignments are interactionally achieved phenomena – they are jointly oriented to by the participants involved. The data come from Aljazeera’s al-itijaah al-mu’akis (‘The Opposite Direction’, hereafter). Twenty fifty minute episodes were studied and transcribed following Conversation Analysis as my analytic method. The show hosts two guests with opposing political views, who are pitted against each other in a heated discussion as they represent and defend their own political and institutional affiliation. This paper argues that the IR uses a specific questioning practice with those interviewees (IEs) with whom he agrees, allowing them to further their agenda against the other’s. I call them interviewees in the favorable position (IEFs, hereafter). This paper will particularly focus on how the IR’s actions of agenda furthering is achieved by repeating his IEFs’ previous turns in a question format which allows IEFs an opportunity to confirm and highlight a previous turn for the overhearing audience. The import of this study is that, among other things, it brings into question the neutrality and impartiality claims of the IR of ‘The Opposite Direction’ and one of the most well-known IRs on Aljazeera. Unlike its Western counterpart, research on Arabic question-response in both institutional and everyday talk is still lacking, at the time of writing this paper. Therefore, the paper and the implication of its findings make a much needed contribution to the Arabic Conversation Analytic literature on political discourse and more specifically on broadcast news interviews. The findings in this paper have implications that are important for cross-cultural mediated communication, Conversation Analysis, Arabic linguistics, and Arabic media studies.
