This book explores both theoretical and practical issues of
language use in a migration context, using a mixed-method approach.
The unique interview data on which the analysis is based (and
therefore the lens through which these issues are viewed) stem from
the German urban immigrant community in Canada, but the results and
findings have implications for situations of migration throughout
this increasingly globalized world. Through this transcontinental
perspective, this book makes a new contribution to the literature
on both language and identity and language and globalization.
Drawing on an interactional analysis, the focus in this book is on
the relationship between interactional intricacies and larger
questions in society addressing the ways in which migrants' moves
between places affects the construction of their identities as well
as sociolinguistic spaces at large. This includes the dynamic
positioning of migrants, the use of multilingual tools as well as
non-linguistic resources and the ways in which language attitudes
may affect all of these.
