Abstract:

The analysis and understanding of multilingualism, and its relationship to
identity in the face of globalization, migration and the increasing dominance
of English as a lingua franca, makes it a complex and challenging problem that
requires insights from a range of disciplines. With reference to a variety of
languages and contexts, this book offers fascinating insights into
multilingual identity from a team of world-renowned scholars, working from a
range of different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Three
overarching themes are explored – situatedness, identity practices, and
investment – and detailed case studies from different linguistic and cultural
contexts are included throughout. The chapter authors' consideration of
'multilingualism-as-resource' challenges the conception of
'multilingualism-as-problem', which has dogged so much political thinking in
late modernity. The studies offer a critical lens on the types of linguistic
repertoire that are celebrated and valued, and introduce the policy
implications of their findings for education and wider social issues.
