Advocates of multilingualism are always seeking new ways to
articulate the advantages inherent in living out life in more than
one language. This volume brings together researchers from across
Europe to explore sociolinguistic perspectives on multilingualism,
with specific emphasis on identity, diversity, and social cohesion,
as they focus explicitly on the potential of this phenomenon to
empower individuals, groups, and communities. Positioned around the
idea of empowerment, this book explores the potential of
multilingualism to overcome divisions and build social cohesion. In
particular, chapters discuss how multilingualism can help the
individual to become critically conscious and to develop an
in-depth understanding of the world, while also benefiting society
as whole. Understanding 'public space' in broad terms, including
domains such as education, online, and the linguistic landscape,
this volume explores how multilingualism can empower people from a
range of perspectives, including memorialisation, onomastics,
direct action, linguistic rights, migration, and educational play.
