Identity in Communicative Contexts

The central focus of the book is the identification of the ways people engage in communicative encounters to (re)constitute personal and social identities. Its aim is to identify some principal themes that have emerged from the ample research on identity in a variety of contexts. A common thread of the articles is the role of language in the construction and performance of identities. It embraces an exploration of the sociocultural environments in which human communication takes place, the interplay between these environments, and the construction and display of identities through our communicative performances. Research located in a range of literary, sociological, psychological and linguistic perspectives is used to illustrate the potential of communication in establishing a sense of identity.Additional ISBNs9783631666616, 9783631694244, 3631666616, 3631694245Identity in Communicative Contexts 1st Edition and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
