challenged in the various traditions (ranging from mainstream sociolinguistic theory to linguistic anthropology). In the broadly defined field of sociolinguistics there are many conceptualisations of ‘identity’. Through language we actively construct and negotiate
our self and social identities. It is through language that we index, directly and indirectly, who we are/how we wish to be perceived and where we (want to) belong. We see identity as (not exclusively but to a large extent) a linguistic phenomenon, dynamic
and constantly evolving. </span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 150%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></span></p>
