Summary:"This book takes a queer linguistics approach to argue that young people's identity constructions reveal their marginalisation in society, given the constraining ideological structures of gender and sexuality that they navigate together. It shows that an intersectional approach to theorising identity construction is crucial for the analysis of marginalised groups. The author develops a framework for an intersectional sociocultural linguistics (ISL) and applies it to linguistic ethnography with members of four LGBTQ+ youth groups in the UK. In focusing on these individual, varied identity constructions, the book also provides a unique, in-depth insight into the reality of being young and LGBTQ+ today"-- Provided by publisher.
