This book presents a unique understanding of the interdependence between language and psychology and how one\'s speech is shaped by and in turn shapes one\'s thoughts, beliefs, and emotions.
The volume focusses on individual and group behaviour to show how identity formation is as much dependent on the psychological state as on social.
Drawing on the tenets of Discourse analysis and psychology, it presents a comprehensive guide to a new and burgeoning area in linguistics and critical theory.
