Most of the chapters in Ethnolinguistic Chicago are based on ethnographic studies of language, though several provide historical narratives as well. As a whole, this book offers a richly diverse set of portraits whosecentral themes emerged inductively from the research process and the communities themselves. All chapters emphasize language use as centrally related to ethnic, class, or gender identities. As such, this volume will interest anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, historians, educators and educational researchers, and others whose concerns require an understanding of "ground-level" phenomena relevant to contemporary social issues.English languageIllinoisChicagoEnglish languageSocial aspectsIllinoisChicagoEnglish languageVariationIllinoisChicagoEthnic groupsIllinoisChicagoLiteracyIllinoisChicagoChicago (Ill.)Social conditionsChicago (Ill.)Ethnic relationsChicago (Ill.)LanguagesElectronic books.English languageEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageVariationEthnic groupsLiteracy306.4/4/0977311Farr Marcia.FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910449947203321Ethnolinguistic Chicago2114260UNINA
