      abstract = {This book uniquely integrates discourse analysis and  corpus linguistics to examine representations of the self  and other within lifestyle migration. With a focus on  British migrants living in the Ariège, south-west France,  the study identifies common positioning strategies to  demonstrate links between wider themes and local identity  construction. Drawing on positioning theory and related  analytical tools, Lawson is the first to integrate a corpus  of British media texts with online and face to face  discourse. The book presents a detailed identification of  ideologies relating to being British in France, and the  linguistic analysis demonstrates how this value system is  both taken up and habitually manipulated within local  discourse as a resource for negotiating a particular kind  of identity. Using social theory to underpin the analysis  of positioning strategies in interaction, the book enhances  our understanding of the complex possibilities within  processes of self-identification in a migration context.
