Poynton, Cate
Literacy and Numeracy Studies: An International Journal in the Education and Training of Adults, v7 n1 p7-24 1997
Analyzes four topics: (1) everyday discourse and judgments about language usage; (2) "social linguistics" and explanations for language differences in terms of categories such as class and gender; (3) the proposition that identity is constructed by language; and (4) the extent to which social categories are discursively constructed.
