Translinguistics represents a powerful alternative to conventional
paradigms of language such as bilingualism and code-switching,
which assume the compartmentalization of different 'languages' into
fixed and arbitrary boundaries. Translinguistics more accurately
reflects the fluid use of linguistic and semiotic resources in
diverse communities. This ground-breaking volume showcases work
from leading as well as emerging scholars in sociolinguistics and
other language-oriented disciplines and collectively explores and
aims to reconcile the distinction between 'innovation' and
'ordinariness' in translinguistics. Features of this book include:
18 chapters from 28 scholars, representing a range of academic
disciplines and institutions from 11 countries around the world;
research on understudied communities and geographic contexts,
including those of Latin America, South Asia, and Central Asia;
several chapters devoted to the diversity of communication in
digital contexts. Edited by two of the most innovative scholars in
the field, Translinguistics: Negotiating Innovation and
Ordinariness is essential reading for scholars and students
interested in the question of multilingualism across a variety of
subject areas.
