This innovative collection explores critical issues in
understanding multilingualism as a defining dimension of identity
creation and negotiation in contemporary social life. Reinforcing
interdisciplinary conversations on these themes, each chapter is
co-authored by two different researchers, often those who have not
written together before. The combined effect is a volume showcasing
unique and dynamic perspectives on such topics as rethinking of
language policy, testing of language rights, language pedagogy,
meaning-making, and activism in the linguistic landscape. The book
explores multilingualism through the lenses of spaces and policies
as embodied in Elizabeth Lanza's body of work in the field, with a
focus on the latest research on linguistic landscapes in diverse
settings. Taken together, the book offers a window into better
understanding issues around processes of change in and of languages
and societies. This ground breaking volume will be of particular
interest to students and scholars in multilingualism, applied
linguistics, and sociolinguistics.

With an eye to the playful, reflexive, self-conscious ways in which
global youth engage with each other online, this volume analyzes
user-generated data from these interactions to show how
communication technologies and multilingual resources are deployed
to project local as well as trans-local orientations. With examples
from a range of multilingual settings, each author explores how
youth exploit the creative, heteroglossic potential of their
linguistic repertoires, from rudimentary attempts to engage with
others in a second language to hybrid multilingual practices.
Often, their linguistic, orthographic, and stylistic choices
challenge linguistic purity and prescriptive correctness, yet, in
other cases, their utterances constitute language policing, linking
'standardness' or 'correctness' to piety, trans-local affiliation,
or national belonging. Written for advanced undergraduates,
postgraduates and researchers in linguistics, applied linguistics,
education and media and communication studies, this volume is a
timely and readymade resource for researching online
multilingualism with a range of methodologies and perspectives.
