The contributors <BR>situate their research in current debates and present it in an <BR>accessible way. They consider CLI in lexis, syntax, tense-aspect, <BR>morphology, phonology of multilingual production and link it to <BR>concepts such as redundancy, affordances, metalinguistic awareness <BR>and L2 status.<BR><BR>Price: £21.95 / US$34.95 / €27.95<BR>Further information about New Trends in Crosslinguistic Influence <BR>and Multilingualism Research: <BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847694416">http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847694416</A><BR><BR><BR>DISCOURSE, IDENTITY, AND CHINA'S INTERNAL MIGRATION<BR>The Long March to the City<BR>Dong Jie<BR><BR>Through her insightful ethnographic exploration of rural-urban <BR>migrant identity in neighborhoods and schools of Beijing, Dong <BR>Jie has achieved the ambitious purpose of documenting both the <BR>rapidly changing face of China's super-diverse cities and the <BR>theoretical value of a scaled approach to the study of linguistic <BR>processes of identity construction. <BR>Nancy Hornberger, University of Pennsylvania, USA<BR><BR>Migrant workers are crucial to China's fast growing economy, yet <BR>little is known about their identities.
