Linguistic Variation and Morphology Linguistic and Sociocultural Studies Language and Culture

Abstract

Abstract The language a person speaks is the language that person identifies with and is therefore very important to the individual. Language is a part of one’s culture and identity. To try to dictate and to purge one’s language is to try to change the individual; you thereby change his or her identity and make unnecessary and possibly detrimental demands on his or her culture and person. At present, two constructs explicate the link between language and identity: Lesley Milroy’s social networks and Robert Le Page’s acts of identity.
