This article focuses on telephone conversations between addressees and radio announcers. The main aim of this work is to describe and analyse the discursive strategies interactants adopt in the co-construction of social identities at a popular radio show broadcast in Belo Horizonte (“Mistureba” – a Radio Favela program). This consists of a microanalysis work of discourse in the field of Interactional Sociolinguistics (Gumperz 1982, Tannen, 1984, 1989, Schiffrin, 1996). Data were obtained from recordings on audio tapes, transcribed, accounting for a total of 171 interactions or three hundred transcribed pages. The analysis shows that the social identities of addressees and radio announcers are built on a demonstration of social affiliation that is revealed, especially in the way they address each other, which claims inclusion in the group and lexical choices that reflect the use of a distinctive dialect. This work also made it possible to understand the ethos of Brazilian radio interactions which are defined in essence as a place of social “interaction” – in the words of Da Matta (1979), the “horror of distance” and the desire for closeness.Key words: language, identity, interaction, radio.
