ABSTRACT

The parent-child relationship is the first important interpersonal relationship established after the birth of an individual, which has an important impact on individual development. This study, guided by Du Bois's Stance Triangle and Luo's interaction-oriented stance analysis model, conducted a stance analysis of parent-child conflict sequences in the TV drama "A Little Reunion". The research found that the main cause of parent-child conflicts is often grades, followed by relationship conflicts among family members. Among them, inequality in parent-child rights is the root cause of conflicts. Negative evaluative language markers are often used to construct opposing affect stance during parent-child conflicts. These conflict talks highlight the inequality between parents and children, where parents are the guides, planners, and often controllers of their children's lives and learning. In-depth analysis of the causes of parent-child conflict and the most commonly used language markers can play a positive role in easing parent-child relationship and building a harmonious family relationship.
