The concept of chronotopicity is increasingly used in sociolinguistic theorizing as a new way of looking at context and scale in studies of language, culture and identity. This volume brings together empirical work that puts flesh on the bones of this rather abstract chronotopical theorizing, especially focusing on the discursive construction of chronotopic identities. The case studies in this volume address chronotopic identity work in several sites (in Denmark, Indonesia, Mongolia, China, Belgium and The Netherlands). The book will be of interest to students and researchers in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, as well as related fields such as anthropology, sociology and cultural studies.

Know someone with an antwacky stem-winder? Heard the Band of Hope Street? Ever been on a vinegar trip? Do you jangle? Ever met a Cunard yank in the Dingle? Could you pay for a dodger with a joey? Have you heard a maccyowler in a jigger?

The Liverpool English Dictionary records the rich vocabulary that has evolved over the past century and a half, as part of the complex, stratified, multi-faceted and changing culture of this singular city. With over 2,000 entries from 'Abbadabba' to 'Z-Cars', the roots/routes, meanings and histories of the words of Liverpool are presented in a concise, clear and accessible format.

Born and bred in Liverpool, Professor Tony Crowley has spent over thirty years compiling this bold and innovative dictionary, investigating historical lexicons, sociological studies, works of history, local newspapers, popular cultural representations, and, most importantly, the extensive 'lost' literature of the city.

For many Japanese women, the English language has never been just another school subject. For them, English is the tool of identity transformation and the means of obtaining what they passionately desire – mobility, the West and its masculinity. Language Learning, Gender and Desire explores Japanese women's passion for learning English and how they negotiate identity and desire in the terrain of racial, sexual and linguistic politics. Drawing on ethnographic data and popular media texts, the book offers new insights into the multidirectionality of desire and power in the context of second language learning.

In der Arbeit erfolgt eine empirisch fundierte Analyse der aktuellen sprachlichen Situation im Baskenland: Es wird untersucht, wie insbesondere der französische und spanische Sprach- und Kulturkontakt das Baskenland, die Basken und damit auch das Baskische beeinflusst hat und bis heute beeinflusst. Hierbei wird nicht die Kontinuität und Stabilität der baskischen Kultur und Sprache angezweifelt; vielmehr werden die Kontaktprozesse, die sich über Jahrhunderte in dieser Region vollzogen haben, anhand von selbst erhobenen empirischen Daten beschrieben. Das Hauptanliegen der Arbeit besteht darin, durch den unterschiedlich ausgeprägten französisch-baskischen und spanisch-baskischen Sprachkontakt und die damit zusammenhängende jeweilige regionale Identität der beiden Sprechergemeinschaften zur Klärung der Frage zu gelangen, ob nicht gegenwärtig, zumindest in Ansätzen, bereits von einem zweigeteilten Baskenland gesprochen werden muss. Auf Basis des Verhältnisses von Sprache und Identität im Baskenland wird ein eigenes Modell zur Untersuchung und Beschreibung von Identität entwickelt.
