Why is it important?
This article is significant as it sheds light on the many ways in which the former colonial language of English continues to be implicated in the identity formations of postcolonial subjects. Through the analysis of stylized speech, this paper advances methodological frameworks for the examination of interactional data.
Perspectives
This article is part of a central core of my publications where I examine the numerous ways in which English medium education is narrated by urban North Indian women as impacting diverse spheres of their lives encompassing education, profession, and rarely examined personal arenas comprising love, romance, arranged marriages, and familial and social positionings.
