What makes a speech community? How do they evolve? How are speech
communities identified? Speech communities are central to our
understanding of how language and interactions occur in societies
around the world and in this book readers will find an overview of
the main concepts and critical arguments surrounding how language
and communication styles distinguish and identify groups. Speech
communities are not organized around linguistic facts but around
people who want to share their opinions and identities; the
language we use constructs, represents and embodies meaningful
participation in society. This book focuses on a range of speech
communities, including those that have developed from an increasing
technological world where migration and global interactions are
common. Essential reading for graduate students and researchers in
linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.
