Publisher's Synopsis
This edited collection studies the complex and multifaceted relations between language and identity from a variety of theoretical perspectives. It brings together researchers from a range of fields to broach and shed light on crucial but tricky aspects of the relationships between language and identity. The contributors here employ different theoretical and methodological approaches to evince the discursive formations that emerge out of the encounters and conjectures of language and identity and their manifestations in various theories and practices. As such, this collection will serve to inform and advance debates about 'language and identity' and their meanings in contemporary academic communities and cultural contexts.
