[Lingtyp] Identity in language from the cross-linguiststic perspective

[Ilja Seržant]

Dear typologists,

can you recommend me papers that would describe (and perhaps even 
generalize) on how language may be used in different areas for a 
conscious or unconscious self-identification or group-identification in 
the social environement? (I do realize that this formulation is a bit 
fuzzy but this is because I am not a specialist in the sociolinguistic 
typology).

Any hint would be greatly appreciated!
Best,

Ilja
