Translingualism refers to an orientation in scholarship that
recognizes the fluidity of language boundaries and endorses a
greater tolerance for the plurality of Englishes worldwide.
However, it is possible that translingualism exacerbates the very
problems it seeks to redress. This book seeks to destabilize
underlying attitudes inherent in the narrowly conceptualized view
of Englishes by pushing forward current theories of translingualism
and integrating cutting-edge scholarship from sociolinguistics,
critical theory, and composition studies. The Politics of
Translingualism pays particular attention to the politics of
evaluating language, including different Englishes, at a moment of
unprecedented linguistic plurality worldwide. The book draws on
analyses of a wide range of artifacts, from television commercials,
social media comments, contemporary and canonical poetry,
contemporary and historical English phrasebooks, commercial shop
signs, and the writing of multilingual university students. The
volume also looks outside the classroom, featuring interviews with
recruiters in a number of professional fields to examine the ways
in which language ideologies about Englishes can impact students
entering the workforce. This book offers an innovative take on
current debates on multilingualism and global Englishes, serving as
an ideal resource for students and scholars in applied linguistics,
sociolinguistics, composition studies, education, and cultural
studies.
