Abstract:

This book is the beginning of a conversation across Social Semiotics,
Translanguaging, Complexity Theory and Radical Sociolinguistics. In its
explorations of meaning, multimodality, communication and emerging language
practices, the book includes theoretical and empirical chapters that move
toward an understanding of communication in its dynamic complexity, and its
social semiotic and situated character. It relocates current debates in
linguistics and in multimodality, as well as conceptions of centers/margins,
by re-conceptualizing communicative practice through investigation of
indigenous/oral communities, street art performances, migration contexts,
recycling artefacts and signage repurposing. The book takes an innovative
approach to both the form and content of its scholarly writing, and will be of
interest to all those involved in interdisciplinary thinking, researching and
writing.
