This Element explores approaches to locating and examining social
identity in corpora with and without the aid of demographic
metadata. This is a key concern in corpus-aided studies of language
and identity, and this Element sets out to explore the main
challenges and affordances associated with either approach and to
discern what either approach can (and cannot) show. It describes
two case studies which each compare two approaches to social
identity variables - sex and age - in a corpus of 14-million words
of patient comments about NHS cancer services in England. The first
approach utilises demographic tags to group comments according to
patients' sex/age while the second involves categorising cases
where patients disclose their sex/age in their comments. This
Element compares the findings from either approach, with the
approaches themselves being critically discussed in terms of their
implications for corpus-aided studies of language and identity.
