Summary Annotation This book provides a broad survey of historical and contemporary treatments of identity in various branches of Applied Linguistics, identifying common themes and areas for future research. The volume critically explores theoretical and methodological approaches, and discusses key concepts such as the nature of linguistic idiosyncrasy and the impact of social engagement on variability in language use and in the construction, negotiation and performance of identity. Starting with a historical and theoretical overview, the book then provides a more detailed consideration of individual and group/social identities from a range of perspectives and fields, including Deaf studies, forensic linguistics, linguistic anthropology, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, social-psychology, sociocultural and rhetorical research. It offers detailed empirical accounts and case studies throughout to give students and researchers practical illustrations of current research in action. Importantly, the book not only details the most current debates in Applied Linguistics and related fields but also the theoretical and practical implications of studying identity from various perspectives and disciplinary approaches. It also offers researchers a new approach to the study of identity- The Dynamic Integrated Systems Approach '. As such it is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, and academics and practitioners working on issues of identity.
