Multilingualism and the Periphery is an edited volume that explores
the ways in which core-periphery dynamics shape multilingualism.
The research focuses on peripheral sites, which are defined by a
relationship-be it geographic, political, economic etc.-to some
perceived centre. Viewing multilingualism through the lens of
core-periphery dynamics allows the contributors to highlight
language ideological tensions with regard to language
boundary-making, language ownership, commodification and
authenticity, as well as the ways in which speakers seek novel
solutions in adapting their linguistic resources to new situations
and thereby develop innovative language practices. Since the
core-periphery relationship is never fixed, but instead constantly
renegotiated and mutually constitutive, the essays in the volume
are particularly concerned with processes of peripheralization and
of centralization. The volume includes ten essays by leading
scholars in the field, and introductory and concluding remarks by
the volume editors.
