The Routledge Handbook of Language and Identity provides a clear and comprehensive survey of the field of language and identity from an applied linguistics perspective.

Forty-one chapters are organised into five sections covering:

  • theoretical perspectives informing language and identity studies
  • key issues for researchers doing language and identity studies
  • categories and dimensions of identity
  • identity in language learning contexts and among language learners
  • future directions for language and identity studies in applied linguistics

Written by specialists from around the world, each chapter will introduce a topic in language and identity studies, provide a concise and critical survey, in which the importance and relevance to applied linguists is explained and include further reading.

The Routledge Handbook of Language and Identity is an essential purchase for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics, Applied Linguistics and TESOL. Advisory board: David Block (Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats/ Universitat de Lleida, Spain); John Joseph (University of Edinburgh); Bonny Norton (University of British Colombia, Canada).


Review

“In an extremely rapidly changing field of scholarship, this collection presents the best of an existing paradigm of research while heralding a new one. This volume should incite everyone to fundamental reflection and a ‘no holds barred’ attitude in fresh research.”

Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, the Netherlands

“The key role that language plays in how we are seen by others and how we see ourselves – struggles around identity – has emerged as a major focus of applied linguistics over the last 20 years. This new handbook does a wonderful job of pulling this work together – from its theoretical roots to its contemporary manifestations – into one diverse and readable volume.”

Alastair Pennycook, University of Technology Sydney, Australia
