Conclusion. 330 $a"Language not only expresses identities but also constructs them. Starting from that point, Language and Identity examines the interrelationships between language and identities. It finds that they are so closely interwoven, that words themselves are inscribed with ideological meanings. Words and language constitute meanings within discourses and discourses vary in power. The powerful ones reproduce more powerful meanings, colonize other discourses and marginalize or silence the least powerful languages and cultures. Language and culture death occur in extreme cases of marginalization. This book also demonstrates the socio-economic opportunities offered by language choice and the cultural allegiances of language, where groups have been able to create new lives for themselves by embracing new languages in new countries. Language can be a 'double-edged sword' of opportunity and marginalization. Language and Identity argues that bilingualism and in some cases multilingualism can both promote socio-economic opportunity and combat culture death and marginalization. With sound theoretical perspectives drawing upon the work of Bakhtin, Vygotsky, Gumperz, Foucault and others, this book provides readers with a rationale to redress social injustice in the world by supporting minority linguistic and cultural identities and an acknowledgement that access to language can provide opportunity."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aAnthropological linguistics 606 $aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aSociolinguistics$xHistory 606 $2linguistics 615 0$aAnthropological linguistics. 615 0$aDiscourse analysis$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 615 0$aSociolinguistics$xHistory. 676 $a401/.41 702 $aEvans$b David$c(Dr.), 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816717203321 996 $aLanguage and identity$94079425 997 $aUNINA
