This book discusses salient moments of multilingual encounters and
brings together contributions focused on the interplay between
language use by individuals and societies, and language-related
inequalities or opportunities for speakers. The chapters
demonstrate how biographical and speaker-centred approaches can
contribute to an understanding of linguistic diversity, how
researchers can empirically account for lived experiences of
languages, and how such accounts are embedded in a larger
discussion on social (in)equality. Together the chapters make a
powerful case for the importance of speaker-centred methodologies
in multilingual and multilingualism research. The book is a rich
source of theoretical and methodological reflections and will thus
be a valuable resource for both experienced researchers and
students beginning to explore biographical research methods.
