Abstract	Research on intercultural couplehood often relies on cultures and "solid identities" to explain the couples' experiences. By looking at the media construction of an intercultural couple on Chinese television, we are interested in how they are presented and co-constructed through different perspectives, especially if and how (cultural) differences are used by the participants to enact the couple's identification. We take a dynamic "liquid" approach to linguistic discourse analysis, through dialogism and utterance theory, to identify the voices and the related discursive strategies that contribute to create and "imagine" the couple. (Contains 2 tables and 4 notes.) (As Provided).
