<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US">During the past few decades, the face of social, cultural and linguistic
diversity in societies all over the world has changed radically, producing
complexity of a different kind than what has traditionally been captured in the
notion of multiculturalism. This ‘new’ diversity, or super-diversity (Vertovec
2007), encompasses a wide range of societal and cultural transformations that
stem mainly from accelerated processes of geocultural and mediated
globalization of the last two decades. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US">Super-diversity manifests most notably in such demographic and social
changes as the tremendous increase in the categories of migrants, not only in
terms of nationality, ethnicity, language and religion, but also in terms of
motives, patterns and careers as migrants, processes of insertion into,
settling in and interactions with the host societies. It is also witnessed in
the increasing complexity of both physical and virtual spaces and their
compressed and multi-scalar character. It shows in the enhanced mobility of
people and the speed with which they can move between and access other places.
In the same way, communication, the dissemination of information and the
mediation of cultural practices and products are increasingly characterized by
rapidity, simultaneity and ubiquity. Technologies of communication and
information circulation offer new opportunities for interaction in which
identifications are not organized on the basis of local, ethnic or national
categories only but which are characterized by translocality, connectedness and
heterogeneity. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US">In language use, a crucial effect of super-diversity is that the
language and cultural biographies and repertoires, forms of communication and
interaction between individuals, groups and communities cannot be presupposed.
Language uses are not necessarily tied to national or ethnic groups or to
standard varieties of language. Instead, they encompass a broad field of less
predictable actors, activities and creative energies. In new combinations and
intertwining of stability and instability, reliance on tradition and
established normative orders are tied in with situated emergent forms of
practice. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" lang="EN-US">To capture, describe and explain the forms, processes, practices and
effects of super-diversity, sociolinguists are faced with a multi-faceted
challenge, calling forth a revision of some of their key tools – their
theoretical apparata, methods of data gathering and analytic concepts
(Blommaert and Rampton 2011). The aim of this international conference is to
explore and interrogate the perspective offered by super-diversity, a
perspective which for sociolinguistic study has tremendous heuristic
potential  </span></p>
