Abstract:

This volume explores the complex relationship between language and identity
from various critical perspectives and by means of different research
methodologies. Following the earlier collection, Languaging Diversity:
Identities, Genres, Discourses, this book provides further insights into the
multifaceted process of identity construction through language. The choice of
dealing with the broad concept of ‘diversity’ underlines the inclusiveness of
this text, which was conceived to analyse how identities are linguistically
and socially construed, maintained and challenged in a vast array of
sociolinguistic contexts.

The choice of collecting papers concerning the thorny issue of language and
diversity is grounded on the idea that individual identities are dynamic and
socially negotiated in interaction and discourse, with language choices being
true acts of identity (Le Page and Tabouret-Keller, 1985) by means of which
people’s selves are performed and defined. To offer wide yet accurate
descriptions of how identities are variously conveyed linguistically, this
volume offers a varied approach to diversity, by covering different fields of
research, from the investigation of ethnic minorities’ identities to the
socio-linguistic and cultural status of Scots, to mention but two examples. 

The book consists of nine selected papers dealing with professional, cultural,
ethnic and social identities, gender ideologies and national stereotypes built
and negotiated in language practices and discourse .In particular, this work
tackles a wide set of key topics: the construction and legitimation of ESOL
teachers’ identities in their community of practice, multidimensional research
on Italian immigrants’ distinctiveness, the negotiation of self in bilingual
families, Scottish national belonging and attitudes towards the Scots
language, the correlation between sexism and gender categories, and the
development of a positive approach to diversity via enhanced critical
awareness of culture-bound stereotypes.
