Abstract:

Foregrounds the practical usefulness of bilingualism, with specific reference
to talk organisation.

Research on bilingualism and on code-switching in particular has traditionally
been geared towards rehabilitating bilingualism and bilingual language use.
>From being seen as a sign of lack of competence, code-switching is now seen as
a sign of high competence in the languages involved. However, this
rehabilitation of bilingualism raises an entirely new problem: Where to from
here? How can the study of bilingualism continue to be interesting and
relevant?

In order to overcome the challenges the discipline faces as a result of its
own success, here Joseph Gafaranga argues, the notion of bilingualism itself
must be redefined. Bilingualism must be seen as consisting of diverse
interactional practices and investigated as such. This book details the
rehabilitation effort which has been undertaken to get us where we are today,
proposes a methodology which can be used in moving forward and illustrates it
with three case studies, all the while inviting other researchers to
contribute to this new research direction. 

Key Features
-Demonstrates empirically how bilingualism can be thought of as a resource,
drawing on data from a variety of sociolinguistic contexts
-Examines specific aspects of conversational organisation (such as
turn-taking, sequence organisation, repair organisation) where language choice
is used as a resource
-Investigates the role of language choice in bilingual conversation against
the backdrop of clearly set out theoretical backgrounds
