ABSTRACT
The Routledge Handbook of Language and Identity provides a clear and comprehensive survey of the field of language and identity from an applied linguistics perspective.
Forty-one chapters are organised into five sections covering:
- theoretical perspectives informing language and identity studies
- key issues for researchers doing language and identity studies
- categories and dimensions of identity
- identity in language learning contexts and among language learners
