Regional Identity Theory


Regional Identity

Andrew Higson (1998) – “Identity is generally understood to be the shared identity of naturalised inhabitants of a particular political-geographic space – this can be a particular nation of region”

Medhurst (1997) – “They’re awful because they’re not like us”

Every area has a certain stereotype.

Colloquial Dialect. (How people speak in a certain place – “ALRIGHT ME LOVER? I’ll get me pasty and do it dreckly” “geeeezzzaaaaa” “G’day mate”)


Semantic fields.
