Description

This book explores the instrumentality of language in constructing identity in contemporary society. The processes of globalization, hyper-mobility, rapid urbanization, and the increasing desire of local populations to be linked to the global community have created a pressing need to reconfigure identity in this new world order. Following the digital revolution, both traditional and new media are dissolving linguistic boundaries. The centrality of language in organizing communities and groups cannot be overstated: our social order is developed alongside our linguistic allegiance, shared narratives, collective memories, and common social history. Keeping in mind the fluidity of identity, the book brings together fourteen chapters providing cultural and social perspectives. The ideas reflected here draw on a range of disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, the politics of language, and linguistic identity. About the Author Rajesh Kumar teaches Linguistics in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, and received his PhD in Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. His publications include Syntax of Negation and Licensing of Negative Polarity Items, as well as several journal articles. The broad goal of his research is to uncover regularities underlying both the form and sociolinguistic functions of natural languages. Om Prakash teaches courses in the areas of Applied Linguistics, English Language Teaching, Communication Theories in Media, and Corporate Communication in the Humanities and Social Sciences at Gautam Buddha University, India. He received his MA, MPhil, and PhD degrees in Linguistics from the University of Delhi, India. He has published a number of articles in both national and international journals. His broader areas of research include emerging fields in applied linguistics and the interface of language, media and contemporary society.
