While much scholarship has been devoted to the interplay between
language, identity and social relationships, we know less about how
this plays out interactionally in diverse transient settings. Based
on research in Indonesia, this book examines how talk plays an
important role in mediating social relations in two urban spaces
where linguistic and cultural diversity is the norm and where
distinctions between newcomers and old timers changes regularly.
How do people who do not share expectations about how they should
behave build new expectations through participating in
conversation? Starting from a view of language-society dynamics as
enregisterment, Zane Goebel uses interactional sociolinguistics and
the ethnography of communication to explore how language is used in
this contact setting to build and present identities, expectations
and social relations. It will be welcomed by researchers and
students working in the fields of linguistic anthropology,
sociolinguistics, the anthropology of migration and Asian studies.
