Language and Sexual Identity demonstrates how gay men and lesbians employ language for the creation of a situated identity. Real linguistic data is analysed using textual analysis, spoken language analysis and corpus linguistic approaches. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of data and linguistic analysis and the authors relate their findings to sociolinguistic theories of communities of practice.
