Abstract:

Identity is a problematic concept inasmuch as we recognise it now asnon-fixed, non-rigid and always being co-constructed by individuals ofthemselves, or by people who share certain core values or perceive anothergroup as having such values. This volume re-examines the analytical toolsemployed in the sociolinguistic research of 'identity' in order to assesstheir efficiency, establish the roles of language in the identity claims ofspecific communities of people, and determine the place of identity in avariety of social contexts, including work places and language classrooms.It will be of interest to academics researching sociolinguistics, appliedlinguistics and second language learning.
