説明

This paper examines the construction of identity in Japanese by doing a micro-analysis of data gathered from the popular Japanese variety program, London Hearts. The show features a panel discussion of ten female panelists and two male hosts. Through careful examination of the data using Membership Categorization Analysis and indexicality this paper shows how gender is used as a membership categorization device and also how the categories are constructed as one of the panel members gets placed into a liminal space by the other panelists because of being transsexual or nyuuhaafu. This paper also examines how the concept of character or seikaku and how it relates to gender. The research questions answered in this paper are: 1) How do Japanese speakers in a panel discussion construct the notion of femininity and gender liminality? and 2) How do these same speakers orient to concept of bad character?
