Motivation, Language Identity and the L2 Self
Due to its theoretical and educational significance within the language learning process, the study of L2 motivation has been an important area of second language acquisition research for several decades.Over the last few years L2 motivation research has taken an exciting new turn by focusing increasingly on the language learner's situated identity and various self-perceptions.As a result, the concept of L2 motivation is currently in the process of being radically reconceptualised and re-theorised in the context of contemporary notions of self and identity.With contributions by leading European, North American and Asian scholars, this volume brings together the first comprehensive anthology of key conceptual and empirical papers that mark this important paradigmatic shift.

Adult Minority Language Learning : Motivation, Identity and Target Variety
This book examines the role of affective variables in the process of learning a minority language.It presents a comprehensive account of how adult learners’ attitude, motivation and identity are related to their awareness of, and commitment to, different dialects and varieties as target speech models.These issues are examined in the context of Irish, a minority language which does not have a standard spoken variety and where the vast majority of learners have no regular contact with native speakers.Using a mixed methods research approach, this study explores the relationships that exist between, on the one hand, learners’ attitudes towards the three main traditional dialects of Irish and non-traditional second language varieties, and on the other, their motivation and self-concept as second language learners.

What creates identity?
Identity is created through a combination of factors such as personal experiences, cultural background, social interactions, and self-perception. Our upbringing, beliefs, values, and relationships all play a role in shaping who we are and how we see ourselves. Additionally, external influences such as societal norms, media representation, and historical context can also impact our identity formation. Ultimately, identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that is continuously evolving as we navigate through life.

Entrepreneurial Identity and Identity Work
Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions.Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities.This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity.First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes.It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self.As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve.Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context.The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts.This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.

Identity theft is a type of crime where someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal information, such as their name, Social Security number, or credit card details, without their permission.

However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
