The concept of authenticity has received some attention in recent
academic discourse, yet it has often been left under-defined from a
sociolinguistic perspective. This volume presents the contributions
of a wide range of scholars who exchanged their views on the topic
at a conference in Freiburg, Germany, in November 2011. The authors
address three leading questions: What are the local meanings of
authenticity embedded in large cultural and social structures? What
is the meaning of linguistic authenticity in delocalised and/or
deterritorialised settings? How is authenticity indexed in other
contexts of language expression (e.g. in writing or in political
discourse)? These questions are tackled by recognised experts in
the fields of sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and
contact linguistics. While by no means exhaustive, the volume
offers a large array of case studies that contribute significantly
to our understanding of the meaning of authenticity in language
production and perception.
