The Routledge Handbook of Language and Identity provides a clear and comprehensive survey of the field of language and identity from an applied linguistics perspective.

Forty-one chapters are organised into five sections covering:

- key issues for researchers doing language and identity studies

- categories and dimensions of identity

- identity in language learning contexts and among language learners

- future directions for language and identity studies in applied linguistics

Written by specialists from around the world, each chapter will introduce a topic in language and identity studies, provide a concise and critical survey, in which the importance and relevance to applied linguists is explained and include further reading.
