Abstract:

Data dubbed “peripheral” or previously unaccounted for have inspired
new methods, new models and theories of language and new ways of
understanding language and communication within pragmatics. The
chapters in the volume extend this perspective to include language
users and their identities as central, taking into account the
ideologies that mediate their perception of language use. Identities
and peripheries are approached geographically (Europe, North America,
Africa, Asia; dialectal variation), socially (gender, age, social
status), medially (traditional, electronic and multimedia),
occupationally (trade, congregation) and from the points of view of
healthcare and of professional relations. The volume includes the
editors’ introductory overview of challenges in the field, and
chapters divided into three parts, "Building the Peripheral Stage";
"Identities in Interaction"; and "Gender, Narratives, and
Peripheries". By particularizing a variety of linguistic peripheries,
the volume fosters a deeper understanding of human interaction.
