This textbook takes a broad perspective on multilingualism, using a
sociolinguistics and acquisition-informed approach
that treats multilingualism not solely as the mastery of two
or more well-defined language systems, but rather as a continuum of
linguistic repertoires and resources to be used in different
settings and combinations. The authors introduce traditional
aspects of multilingualism - including historical dimensions,
societal and individual multilingualism, aspects of identities,
ideologies, education, and language policies - before going
on to examine newer manifestations such as multilingualism in
migrant and refugee contexts, in new media, pop music and
linguistic landscaping, as well as the notion of grassroots
multilingualism. This textbook will be an ideal resource for
postgraduate students of linguistics and multilingualism, as well
as advanced undergraduate students who are looking for a nuanced
and holistic approach to the topic.Â
