  This book aims to synthesize research from a number of related disciplines, including social psychology, communication science, sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. It begins with an examination of theoretical issues, and proceeds to a consideration of actual contexts where language and social forces interact. These contexts bear on matters such as ethnolinguistic identity, bilingualism, health and ageing.
