CHAPTER 4 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK the monolingual candidate complying with Solidarity. As based on the OT framework, no successful candidate can violate a higher ranked constraint, Faith must outrank Solidarity. Tableau 8: Interaction of FAITH and SOLIDARITY (FAITH 22 SOLIDARITY) Candidates FAITH | PERSPECTIVE | SOLIDARITY | FACE | POWER “ — (a) "... amióta előjött ez az ... izé, a homeland security probléma ..." (b) "... amióta előjött ez az ... izé, ahonföld | *! * biztonság probléma..." The next example [21] provides empirical evidence of Perspective outranking Solidarity. Example [21] — The interaction of PERSPECTIVE and SOLIDARITY 1 A“... És el kezdtek magyarázni, hogy we’ll explain you the situation.” (...and they began to explain that, “we'll explain you the situation”) (cited by Bhatt and Bolonyai)"" In this extract, the speaker switches to English to give voice to the other person in the recalled episode to reflect the dialogicity of the situation as well as parodying the American bank clerk. The switch, therefore, enables the speaker to shift perspectives, to leave the role of the narrator to taking on the role of the quoted American bank clerk. The switch to English complies with the constraint of Perspective but violates the constraint of Solidarity as English is the language of power, the language of the American, host society. The monolingual candidate, on the other hand, would not so efficiently enable the speaker to take different roles, or perspectives as well as expressing the speaker’s parodic stance on the situation. However, it would comply with Solidarity. As the actual surface representation is the switch to English, following OT logic, Perspective must outrank Solidarity. 190 Bhatt — Bolonyai, Ibid., 541 + 76 +
