Peter Lang welcomes new proposals to our book series:
Language, Migration and Identity
Edited by Vera Regan
www.peterlang.com?LMI

This series fills a hitherto neglected but now growing area in the treatment
of migration: the role of language and identity. This topic is central in a
globalized world where the definition of community is constantly challenged by
the increased mobility of individuals. Linked to this mobility is the issue of
identity construction, in which language plays a key role. Language practices
are indicators of the socialization process in bilingual and multilingual
settings, and part of the strategies by which speakers assert membership
within social groups. Migrant speakers are constantly engaged in identity
construction in varying settings.

Language, Migration and Identity invites proposals for revised dissertations,
monographs and edited volumes on language practices and language use by
migrant speakers. A wide range of themes is envisaged, within the area of
migration, but from a broadly linguistic perspective. The series welcomes
studies of migrant communities and their language practices, studies of
language practices in multilingual educational settings, and case studies of
identity building among migrants through language use. Proposals might focus
on topics such as second language acquisition in social contexts, variation in
L2 speech, multilingualism, acquisition of sociolinguistic competence,
hybridity and ‘crossing’ in relation to identity. A multiplicity of approaches
in the treatment of this interdisciplinary area will be welcome, from
quantitative to ethnographic to mixed methods.

The series welcomes established scholars as well as early career academics and
recent PhD research.

New Approaches to Applied Linguistics

Edited by Mark Garner, Annabelle Mooney and Barbara Fennell

www.peterlang.com?NAAL

This series provides an outlet for academic monographs and edited volumes that
offer a contemporary and original contribution to applied linguistics. Applied
linguistics is understood in a broad sense, to encompass language pedagogy and
second-language learning, discourse analysis, bi- and multilingualism,
language policy and planning, language use in the internet age, lexicography,
professional and organisational communication, literacies, forensic
linguistics, pragmatics, and other fields associated with solving real-life
language and communication problems. Interdisciplinary contributions, and
research that challenges disciplinary assumptions, are particularly welcomed.
The series does not impose limitations in terms of methodology or genre and
does not support a particular linguistic school. Whilst the series volumes are
of a high scholarly standard, they are intended to be accessible to
researchers in other fields and to the interested general reader.
New Approaches to Applied Linguistics is based at the Centre for Language
Assessment Research, University of Roehampton.
