This volume offers a critical perspective on current views on
linguistic fixity and fluidity in sociolinguistics and highlights
empirical accounts alternative to prevailing trends in the field.
Featuring accounts from a broad range of regional contexts, the
collection takes stock of such terms as "polylingualism",
"metrolingualism" and "translanguaging" to question perceptions
around multilingual and monolingual language use. The book
critiques the status of fluid language use as a more "natural"
language practice and in turn, its greater potential for
corresponding social transformation, demonstrating the value of
linguistic fixity and the continuous debate between fixity and
fluidity in multilingual speakers' lives. In providing these
accounts, the book seeks not to advocate for linguistic fixity or
fluidity, but to argue that sociolinguists pay close attention to
the way both types of linguistic practice open up or close down
avenues for social transformation. This collection is a key reading
for graduate students and scholars in sociolinguistics,
multilingualism, and linguistic anthropology.
