Extract

UNITY AND DIVERSITY IN LANGUAGE USE.Kristyan Spelman Miller and Paul Thompson (Eds.). New York: Continuum, 2002. Pp. 224. $60.00 paper.

This collection of 13 papers from the annual meeting of the British Association of Applied Linguistics held in 2001 covers a broad range of topics, including doctor-patient communications, students' interpretations of teachers' gestures, and measuring the lexical complexity of texts. A theme that runs throughout the collection and foreshadows an area of much current interest is the notion of voice and identity.
