Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the speaker identity (Sprecheridentiät), which is realised by guests of the political talk-shows (politicians and celebrities) in their speech acts. The paper discusses the relation between the speech acts and the speaker identity including guests’ conversational point of view. The empirical basis of the research are 39 speech acts from the political talk-show directed by Sabine Christiansen, broadcast by German TV channel ARD: 1. „Berliner Besatzungscouch – wie erfolgreich wird das neue Kabinett?“ (16.10.2005) 2. „Große Koalition – großes Chaos?“ (6.11.2005) 3. „Der Koalitionsvertrag steht: Großer Wurf oder fauler Kompromiss?“ (13.11.2005) 4. „Deutschland – bald wieder Spitze in Europa?“ (20.11.2005)
