Abstract:

Language is a social space, an aesthetic, a form of play and communication, a
geographical reference, a jouissance, a producer of numerous social and
personal identities. This book takes up salient issues of sociolinguistics
with a specific focus on Japan: language and gender (the married name
controversy), language and the 'portable' identities being fashioned around
traditional, essentialist notions of ethnicity (metroethnicity) endangerment,
slang, taboo and discriminatory language in Japanese especially regarding
minorities, place-names from indigenous languages, the fellowship and parody
of children's songs, and the diversity of nicknames among children and young
people. This books gives radical and new perspectives on the sociolinguistics
of Japanese.
