This collection of thirteen essays examines sociolinguistic
phenomena in a wide variety of marginal environments, providing
both an overview of globalizaiton on the margins and a foundation
for an expanded understanding of the processes of linguistic and
cultural changes at work in these settings. Taking an expansive
conceptual view of margins, the volume is organized in three parts,
looking at examples of marginal spaces in the nation-state, in
online environments, and in the peripheries of urban locations,
globally to call attention to new and changing discursive genres,
patterns, practices, and identities emerging in these spaces as a
result of contemporary mobilities, the evolving global economy, and
socio-political changes. With previous research previously confined
to the study of globalization in urban areas, this volume opens the
door for further research on the complex sociolinguistic processes
resulting from globalization on the margins, making this an ideal
resource for students and scholars in sociolinguistics,
globalization and heritage studies, new media, anthropology, and
cultural studies.

The concept of chronotopicity is increasingly used in
sociolinguistic theorizing as a new way of looking at context and
scale in studies of language, culture and identity. This volume
brings together empirical work that puts flesh on the bones of this
rather abstract chronotopical theorizing, especially focusing on
the discursive construction of chronotopic identities. The case
studies in this volume address chronotopic identity work in several
sites (in Denmark, Indonesia, Mongolia, China, Belgium and The
Netherlands). The book will be of interest to students and
researchers in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics, as well as
related fields such as anthropology, sociology and cultural
studies.

This edited volume consists of chapters celebrating the career of
scholar Sjaak Kroon, who has produced ground-breaking work in the
field of ethnography of education, immigrant minority language
teaching and language politics. The chapters cover the use of
immigrant minority languages in education and the development of
policies at all levels and across the globe in this sometimes
over-policed field. It particularly focuses on language policy
analysis in which both the top-down institutional and the bottom-up
ethnographic dimensions are blended, and in which globalization is
the main macro-perspective. The chapters describe sensitive tools
for investigating, unravelling and understanding the grey space
connecting formal language policies to informal politics and
practices of language on the ground.
