This volume offers empirically grounded perspectives on
translanguaging as a locally situated, interactional accomplishment
of practical action, and its significance within different domains
of social life-school, education, diasporic families and
communities, workplaces, urban linguistic landscapes, advertising
practices and mental health centres - focusing on case studies from
different countries and continents. The 14 chapters contribute to
the understanding of translanguaging as a communicative and
discursive practice, which is relationally constructed and
strategically deployed by individuals during everyday encounters
with language and cultural diversity. The contributions testify to
translanguaging as an interdisciplinary and critical research
paradigm by assembling scholars working on translanguaging from
different perspectives, and a wide range of social, cultural, and
geographical contexts. This volume contributes to the further
development of new theoretical and analytical tools for the
investigation of translanguaging as everyday practice, and how and
why language practices are constructed, negotiated, opposed or
subverted by social actors.

The impact of mobility and superdiversity in recent sociolinguistic
research is well-established, yet very few studies deal with issues
related to immobility. The chapters in this book focus on the
sociolinguistic investigation of the dynamics between mobility and
immobility as experienced by migrants, asylum seekers and members
of minority or exploited groups. Central to the book is an
exploration of how mobilities are affected by and in turn affect
power relations and of the kinds of resources used by people to
deal with (im)mobility processes. The book brings to light a new
critical sociolinguistic imagination that is responsive to 21st
century processes of (im)mobilities as socially, discursively and
emotionally constructed and negotiated.
