The way speakers in multilingual contexts develop own varieties in
their interactions sheds light on code switching and multimodal
dynamic co-constructions of grammar in use. This volume explores
the intersection of multimodality and language use of multilingual
speakers. Firstly, theoretical frames are discussed and empirical
studies involving Catalan, German and Spanish as L1, L2 or FL are
presented interconnecting verbal and gestural modalities into
grammar description or exploring actions as sources for gestures,
which may nonverbally represent the argument in German dynamic
motion verbs. Other chapters focus on positionings in interviews,
lexical access searches or proxemics in greetings and farewells.
The contributions secondly focus on verbal features of language use
in multilingual contexts related to self-representation and
co-construction of identity through code-switching, deixis or
argumentative reasoning in different communicative events based on
multilingual data of languages including Croatian, English,
Italian, Brazilian-Portuguese and Polish. The findings call for a
reviewed conception of grammar description with implications also
for the conceptualization of deixis, for L2/foreign language
acquisition and language teaching policies.
