This volume offers a broad survey of our current state of knowledge
on the connections between variability in language use and the
construction, negotiation, maintenance and performance of
identities. Bringing together the expertise of distinguished
international scholars in specially commissioned chapters, the book
provides a thematic reader and essential resource for advanced
students and researchers in language and identity studies.Leading
scholars consider: * Theoretical and methodological approaches to
the study of language and identity* Individual identities* Group
and community identities* National and supra-local regional
identitiesDealing sequentially with both social and personal
identities at various levels, the chapters use detailed empirical
evidence to illustrate how the multi-layered, dynamic nature of
identities is realised through linguistic behaviour. Several
chapters in the collection focus on contexts in which a heightened
sense of identity might be expected: cases in which identities may
be disputed, changing, blurred, peripheral, or imposed. Such a
focus on complex contexts allows clearer insight into the
identity-making and -marking functions of language. The collection
approaches these topics from a range of perspectives, with
contributions from sociolinguists, sociophoneticians, linguistic
anthropologists, clinical linguists and forensic linguists
