Bringing together scholars specialising in Russian studies,
linguistic and cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics and
ethnolinguistics, this collection examines the discursive practices
in which migrants' homes are framed, negotiated and constructed to
reveal the complexity and ambivalence of home as a concept and as a
phenomenon of social life. By examining migrants' stories about
moving home, the book explores the stages of linguistic and
cultural adaptation. It demonstrates that immigrants' homes are
semiotic storehouses revealing their owners' past and present as
well as aspirations for the future. It presents the first
multifaceted investigation of the interdependence of materiality
and emotions and materiality and language use by Russian-speaking
immigrants.
