The contributors argue that multilingual repertoires are shaped by various forms of mobility 鈥� physical, symbolic, and digital. Across diverse contexts, mobility generates new linguistic resources, reshapes identities, and prompts individuals to negotiate belonging and power. They show that multilingualism is flexible, emotionally charged, and deeply tied to social hierarchies, conflict, and shifting ideologies.

This book explores the construction of 鈥榣anguaged鈥� and professional subjectivities in the context of refugee support work in Austria. It presents ethnographic insights into how language and linguistic practice come to matter both as part of a migration infrastructure in transformation, and in the efforts within a particular institution to reinvent itself as it struggles for survival in the context of shrinking public and state support for refugee provision. The author focuses on how transform

This book analyzes the multilingual and multidialectal practices of Chinese Americans in Los Angeles, a city with a Chinese diasporic population of around 500,000. It describes the contact between different Chineses in a diasporic setting, illustrating how non-Putonghua features are made use of to form distinct identities and speech communities. It demonstrates that localized conceptions of 'Chineseness' hold greater sociolinguistic significance than the transnational narratives of a unified glo

This book provides an overview of this educational sector and crucially how it interacts with mainstream education. Students of all ages describe what they think of the schools, how language learni

This book aims to disrupt the native-speaker/non-native-speaker binary through a study of the construction of English teacher identities in Japan. The book suggests that macro discourses in the Japanese context, as well as institutional processes, are powerful forces in perpetuating native-speakerist discourses and ascribing identity labels. However, in self-identification and in interactions with students, the results are found to be more nuanced, with a complex picture of identity construct
