Staging Language

Place and Identity in the Enactment, Performance and Representation of Regional Dialects

Beschreibung

This volume investigates the relationship between a specific discourse practice - creative and imaginative live performance - and connections such performance may have with identity linked to place. The author explores the role of linguistic variation in English in creating and maintaining specific social, cultural and regional identities in the context of localised, live performance events.

Rezensionen

"Overall, Clark's work is an excellent contribution to the study of artistic representations of dialect that proves the power of dialect use in performances to 'subvert or mock contemporary cultural norms' (166), playing with stereotypes while creating and recreating identities." Sara Diaz Sierra in: Language in Society 49 (2020), 155-156
