Language and Migration Vol II

Language and Migration is timely for two main reasons: one is social - international migration is at an all-time high - and the other is theoretical - theorizing language as a mobile resource is currently the most exiting frontier in sociolinguistics. Including the very best contemporary scholarship as well as key foundational research, this four volume collection will strike a balance between the socially-relevant and topical issues of wider concern raised by migration on the one hand, and disciplinary conceptual and methodological concerns on the other. In doing so, Language and Migration is intended both as a showcase of the most important work in the field as well as an intervention into contemporary debates.
