| Summary |
Scouse: A Social and Cultural History is a ground-breaking and iconoclastic account which challenges many of the forms of received wisdom about the history of language in Liverpool. Exploring evidence from a host of different sources ranging from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, the analysis draws on recent developments within the fields of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology - particularly with regard to the study of language and identity and the relationship between language and a sense of place - in order to provide a radically new understanding of 'Scouse' in terms of it. |
