Preferred term

linguistic identities  

Definition

  • In the context of global studies, linguistic identities refers to the sense of belonging to a community as mediated through the symbolic resource of language or to the varying ways in which we come to understand the relationship between our language and ourselves. These are closely related aspects of how we position ourselves in social context through language, and globalization has significant implications for how these aspects unfold.
