Languages are inseparable from their contexts of use. They are not
only congruent with, but also involved in the configuration of the
worldviews and value systems manifested in cultures and embodied in
texts. The spread of English worldwide foregrounds the issue of
textual dynamics in intercultural settings. The
production/reception of texts in English facilitates international
contacts and exchanges, yet it also triggers hegemonic practices.
The volume aims to investigate the representations and negotiations
of sociocognitive identities in intercultural settings relevant for
'good practice'. Contributions explore 'languaging' strategies
(verbal, visual, multimodal; English monolingual, bilingual,
multilingual) through a range of methodological perspectives
wherein the respect for sociocultural differences is a constitutive
value.
