Inspired by Bourdieu’s notion of a ‘linguistic sense of place’ and by Hymes’ discussion of ‘ways of meaning and what they mean’ to members of a community, this Round Table aims to show how discourse studies, rhetoric and stylistics can relate micro- and macro-level features of text to the ideology or ‘social identity’ underpinning the text. Discussion will focus on dominant, marginal and oppositional voices "doing" difference in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, institutional role, status, etc and on how they engage linguistically with the social order in creating and resisting situated ways of meaning across cultures, across specific times and places.

Abstract
Inspired by Bourdieu’s notion of a ‘linguistic sense of place’ and by Hymes’ discussion of ‘ways of meaning and what they mean’ to members of a community, this Round Table aims to show how discourse studies, rhetoric and stylistics can relate micro- and macro-level features of text to the ideology or ‘social identity’ underpinning the text. Discussion will focus on dominant, marginal and oppositional voices "doing" difference in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, institutional role, status, etc and on how they engage linguistically with the social order in creating and resisting situated ways of meaning across cultures, across specific times and places.
