Language is integral to the construction of personal,
socio-cultural and socio-political identities. Language, Identity
and Symbolic Culture closely investigates the relationship between
language and identities, offering a comprehensive yet progressive
view of how linguistics relates to development and education, both
in theoretical and real world applications. Progressing from a
theoretical core examining the connection between language and
individual identity, this book moves on to look at the wider
socio-political discourse involving the marginalization and
resistance of communities in the world. Beginning with the
philosophical paradigms of language, Evans questions whether
language shapes personal identities in its daily use or whether
language is simply a tool for describing, rather than creating, the
world. Extrapolating on this, the contributors utilise case studies
from across the globe to see how these linguistic perspectives are
played out in the real world, considering the role of language in
issues surrounding power, colonization, marginalization and
education. Language, Identity and Symbolic Culture offers a view of
language identity conflicts around the world and an understanding
of the opportunities of political and cultural emancipation created
through language and open discourse.
