'... this book takes us on an intellectual ride through many domains while urging us to think politically, to engage with the local operations of language, and to act as applied linguists. I'm not sure what has been planned for the rest of this series, but this sets the bar high.' Alastair Pennycook, Language in Society 'Tim McNamara offers interesting and engaging insights into the construction of subjectivities in various discourses, and the role of language in the formation of understanding self ... this book constitutes an essential thinking tool for scholars and students who want to explore further our construction of identity through language.' Argyro Kanaki, BAAL News

'This is a book that applied linguists - those new to the field and those who have been around a while and think they know all this stuff - should read and talk about. ...

Alastair Pennycook, Language in Society 'Tim McNamara offers interesting and engaging insights into the construction of subjectivities in various discourses, and the role of language in the formation of understanding self ... this book constitutes an essential thinking tool for scholars and students who want to explore further our construction of identity through language.' Argyro Kanaki, BAAL News 'To conclude, this book is undoubtedly a welcome addition to the fields of applied linguistics and sociolinguistics. Presenting state-of-the-art research, Language and Subjectivity is highly recommended to scholars and students involved in the study of subjectivity from a linguistic perspective. Readers would benefit from this book not only because it adds clarity to this topic, but also because it suggests numerous research directions that still need to be explored.' Nicole Mazzetto, LINGUIST List 'Language and Subjectivity makes a successful attempt at providing theoretical and methodological clarity to researching identity and subjectivity. It is a recommended reading for anyone who is interested in understanding the relationship between self and discourse.' Ruolin Hu, Applied Linguistics
