Description
Identity and Dialect Performance: A Study of Communities and Dialects explores the complex relationships between language, identity, and community. This book examines how dialects are used to perform and negotiate social identities in various contexts.
Through case studies of communities from around the world, including South Sudan, Piedmontese, Morocco, and Japan, the author reveals the ways in which dialects are used to construct and express identity. The book also considers the role of media in shaping dialect performances and language variation.
By analyzing the complex dynamics between language, identity, and community, this study provides a nuanced understanding of how dialects are used to negotiate social belonging and authenticity.
