Discourse and Identity

Beschreibung

The relationship between language, discourse and identity has always been a major area of sociolinguistic investigation, which in recent years has been revolutionized by some pioneering models and approaches. By applying these new analytical tools and concepts, Discourse and Identity shows how we build images of ourselves through language, how society moulds us into different categories, and how we negotiate our membership of those categories. Drawing on numerous interactional settings, genres, and communities, this revealing volume sheds new light on how our social practices can help to shape our identities.
