Abstract
<p>In Professional identity constructions of Indian women, Priti Sandhu examines processes of professional identity construction through analyses of work-related identity constructions uncovered in young, urban North Indian women's narratives on medium of education (MoE). The MoEs under analysis are Hindi medium education (HME), English medium education (EME), or a combination of Hindi and English medium education. The data has been analysed in terms of stylization, reported speech, mock languages, emotion-indexing devices, negative self-or other labelling, imagery and metaphors, laughter and laughing tone, stress and intonation variations, irony and sarcasm, and lexical and syntactic choices (44).</p>
