Description

This volume demonstrates that the study of language and ethnic identity is a dynamic and rigorous research area within the study of the social psychology of language. The research presented here demonstrates that social and ethnolinguistic identity theories have the scope necessary to explain the influence of ethnic identity on such diverse processes as language attitudes, second language competence, sociolinguistic stereotypes, perceived ethnolinguistic vitality, and speech accommodation.
