Transnational Identities (co-authored with Anna De Fina) (original) (raw)

This paper explores the redefinition of socio-culturally oriented linguistics in response to globalization, analyzing how contemporary social dynamics influence language use and identity construction. The authors emphasize the need for linguistic approaches that account for transnational identities shaped by migration, technology, and media, presenting a variety of case studies demonstrating these themes. They argue for a shift in theoretical and methodological frameworks within socio-cultural linguistics to adequately address the complexities of identity in today’s interconnected world.
