Abstract:
This book operates from the premise that linguistic identities are important
because they make sense to people, are meaningful, and have an impact on the
thinking and behaviour of individuals and groups, both overtly and covertly.
The framework outlined here synthesises key works on linguistic identity and
draws together insights from a range of disciplines, such as sociolinguistics,
linguistic anthropology, discourse analysis, cognitive sciences, and social
psychology. It investigates linguistic assertions of community identity in the
multilingual context of the Kashmir region in India, by studying the
dimensions of changing language roles and linguistic practices in relation to
the process of creating and maintaining new linguistic identities under
different circumstances. It examines the nature of changing language roles as
a combination of several linguistic and extra-linguistic factors, which
include script uncertainty, interlingual diglossia, language attrition,
language policies of the state, collective attitudes towards language(s),
corresponding speech communities, intergenerational transmission, and
instrumental orientation, among others. It demonstrates that changes in role
are principally motivated by various factors, which may lead to the demise of
the distinct symbol and roots of the Kashmiri linguistic-cultural identity in
favour of the non-native code, Urdu, which could emerge as the primary
linguistic identity in the near future.
