A first synthesis of work done in sociolinguistic superdiversity,
this volume offers a substantial introduction to the field and the
issues and state-of-the-art research papers organized around three
themes: Sketching the paradigm, Sociolinguistic complexity,
Policing complexity. The focus is to show how complexity rather
than plurality can serve as a lens through which an equally vast
range of topics, sites, and issues can be tied together.
Superdiversity captures the acceleration and intensification of
processes of social 'mixing' and 'fragmentation' since the early
1990s, as an outcome of two different but related processes: new
post-Cold War migration flows, and the advent and spread of the
Internet and mobile technologies. The confluence of these forces
have created entirely new sociolinguistic environments, leading to
research in the past decade that has brought a mixture of new
empirical terrain-extreme diversity in language and literacy
resources, complex repertoires and practices of participants in
interaction-and conceptual challenges. Language and Superdiversity
is a landmark volume bringing together the work of the scholars and
researchers who spearhead the development of the sociolinguistics
of superdiversity.
