Abstract:

This book proposes a multidisciplinary assessment of the impact of complex
diversity on language politics and policies, analysing how the legacies of the
old interact with the challenges of the new. Its main focus is on the
interplay of multilingualism on the one hand, and the dynamics of
transnationalism, globalisation, and Europeanisation on the other. This
interplay confronts contemporary societies with unprecedented questions, as
they face the need to come to grips with increasingly varied and pervasive
manifestations of linguistic and cultural diversity. This volume develops an
integrative approach that identifies the key social and political dimensions
at hand, offering an innovative contribution to the ongoing conversation on
the manifestations and management of multilingualism.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
