Description

Discourse and Identity by Elizabeth Stokoe and Bethan Benwell offers an accessible introduction to the study of discourse and identity across various contexts. This interdisciplinary book explores how people display their identities in different settings, including everyday conversation, institutional environments, and virtual spaces. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of various analytical methods used to study identity, such as performative analyses, conversation analysis, and narrative analysis. The book also features detailed case studies of spoken and written texts, offering practical insights into the discursive accomplishment of identity. Suitable for courses in English language and linguistics, psychology, media, cultural studies, and sociology, Discourse and Identity provides a clear understanding of the coherence and practical applications of different approaches to studying identity.
