Abstract:

The relationship between language, discourse and identity has always been amajor area of sociolinguistic investigation. In recent times, the fieldhas been revolutionized as previous models - which assumed our identitiesto be based on stable relationships between linguistic and social variables- have been challenged by pioneering new approaches to the topic.

This volume brings together a team of leading experts to explore discoursein a range of social contexts. By applying a variety of new analyticaltools and concepts, the contributors show how we build images of ourselvesthrough language, how society moulds us into different categories, and howwe negotiate our membership of those categories.

Drawing on numerous interactional settings (the workplace; medicalinterviews; education), in a variety of genres (narrative; conversation;interviews), and amongst different communities (immigrants; patients;adolescents; teachers), this revealing volume sheds new light on how oursocial practices can help to shape our identities.
