This volume provides a unique interface between the material and
linguistic aspects of communication, education and language use,
and cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries, drawing on
fields as varied as applied linguistics, ethnology, sociology,
history and philosophy. Taking texts, images and objects as their
starting points, the authors discuss how cultural context is
envisioned in particular materialities and in a variety of contexts
and localities. The volume, divided into three sections, aims to
deal with material culture not only in the daily language practices
of the past and the present, but also language teaching in a number
of settings. The main thrust of the volume, then, is the exposure
of natural ties between language, cognition, identity and the
material world. Aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars
in fields as varied as education, applied linguistics,
sociolinguistics, semiotics and other related disciplines, this
volume documents and analyses a wide range of case studies. It
provides a unique take on multilingualism and expands our
understanding of how materialities permit us new and unexpected
insights into multilingual practices.
