Style and Social Identities: Alternative Approaches to Linguistic Heterogeneity

Style and Social Identities: Alternative Approaches to Linguistic Heterogeneity Why do languages allow us to say the same thing in different ways? One of the answers is that in saying what we want to, we always position ourselves in social space as well, by speaking differently from relevant other social groups. This book explores how variability in language is exploited to perform this social identity work in interaction.
