Over the last twenty years, sociolinguistic research on
multilingualism has been transformed. Two processes have been at
work: first, an epistemological shift to a critical ethnographic
approach, which has contributed to a larger turn toward
post-structuralist perspectives on social life. Second, the effects
of globalization-transnational population flows, new communication
technologies, transformations in the political and economic
landscape-have sparked increasing concern about the implications of
these changes for our understanding of the relationship between
language and society. A new sociolinguistics of multilingualism is
being forged: one that takes account of the new communicative
order, while retaining a central concern with the processes in the
construction of social difference. The contributors to this volume
have been at the forefront of these epistemological shifts. They
write here about the conceptual and methodological challenges posed
by these shifts, and the profound changes that we are witnessing in
the late modern era.
