"This book should be of great interest to students and researchers involved in language and identity. It is intended for both scholars of sociolinguistics and non-experts interested in these issues. The book is a clear analysis of the analytical tools used by linguists to examine the concepts of language and identity, as well as illustrating an impressive variety of case studies both on the macro- and micro-level...Overall, this book is well-written, well-structured and extremely accessible. It is a valuable resource in the field of language and identity."

‘This book should be of great interest to students and researchers involved in language and identity. It is intended for both scholars of sociolinguistics and non-experts interested in these issues...The sequencing of chapters and their internal cohesion is clear and well-structured and allows the reader to pick specific chapters of interest....Overall, this book is well-written, well-structured and extremely accessible. It is a valuable resource in the field of language and identity.' Natalie Braber, Linguist List

"...very few of the following chapters realize the promise of a more dynamic perspective on identity. Ironically, many emphasize the essentialism that the editors want to leave behind, in that a number of contributors offer group members' evaluations of linguistic varieties as markers of local identity...Few of the chapters are directly relevant to SLA research...In sum, SLA researchers can take from this volume a notion of identity repertoires and social identities as a dynamic that is gaining adherents among some sociolinguists and anthropologists. Categorizing research subjects in the classroom in terms of only their static identities might result in an incomplete analysis." - Carol Myers-Scotton, Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Vol. 30 No. 3, September 2008

Identity is a problematic concept in-as-much-as we recognise it now as non-fixed, non-rigid and always being co-constructed by individuals of themselves, or by people who share certain core values or perceive another group as having such values. This volume re-examines the analytical tools employed in the sociolinguistic research of 'identity' in order to assess their efficiency, establish the roles of language in the identity claims of specific communities of people, and determine the place of identity in a variety of social contexts, including work places and language classrooms. It will be of interest to academics researching sociolinguistics, applied linguistics and second language learning.

Brand new in paperback this volume looks at the problematic and controversial area of identity, re-examining the analytical tools employed in sociolinguistic research.
Comprised of expert contributors all of whom will make a solid contribution to the sociolinguistic research into identity.
Since the emergence of sociolinguistics as a new field of enquiry in the late 1960s, research into the relationship between language and society has advanced almost beyond recognition. In particular, the past decade has witnessed the considerable influence of theories drawn from outside of sociolinguistics itself. Thus rather than see language as a mere reflection of society, recent work has been increasingly inspired by ideas drawn from social, cultural, and political theory that have emphasised the constitutive role played by language/discourse in all areas of social life. The Advances in Sociolinguistics series seeks to provide a snapshot of the current diversity of the field of sociolinguistics and the blurring of the boundaries between sociolinguistics and other domains of study concerned with the role of language in society.
