Taylor & Francis Ltd - Identity And Dialect Performance A Study Of Communities And Dialects - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Identity and Dialect Performance discusses the relationship between identity and dialects. It starts from the assumption that the use of dialect is not just a product of social and demographic factors but can also be an intentional performance of identity. Dialect performance is related to identity construction and in a highly globalised world the linguistic repertoire has increased rapidly thereby changing our conventional assumptions about dialects and their usage. The key outstanding feature of this particular book is that it spans an extensive range of communities and dialects; Italy Hong Kong Morocco Egypt Syria Japan Germany The Sudan The Netherlands Nigeria Spain US UK French Guiana Colombia and Libya.
