Synopsis
This is the second volume in a series highlighting questions of language, culture, literature and identity in the context of South Asian development. Using Indian material, the book pushes sociolinguistics to the point of crisis by refusing to correlate unexamined language surfaces with unexamined social appearances. Contributors provide a critique of the body of correlation paradigm research accepted as sociolinguistics and offer an original theory which views linguistics and sociology as studies of norms, and as crucially supplementing each other′s ideas of how individuals - who live by these norms - continue to contest them.
