  • Who Does She Think She Is?”—Vernacular Medium and Failed Romance

    Priti SandhuARTICLEJournal of Language Identity &…2014Cited by: 6References: 7

The analysis utilizes theoretical understandings of difference as delineated in the work of Bakhtin (Holquist, 2002), Said (1978/1994), and Hall (1996) to …
