Abstract:

This book contributes to understanding research approaches for studying
multilingualism in the context of contemporary superdiversity, in environments
that are being dramatically transformed by transnational migration and
movement of peoples. It explores language in urban contexts: the city as a
site for experimentation and creativity in language practices. This involves
considering theoretical frameworks in which to examine these practices, but
above all, it focuses on how we do, or could do, research into these language
practices and their users. What methodologies are we using to understand urban
linguistic contexts? What do we want to learn? The chapters explore complex
and challenging situations, capturing the evolution of new forms of language
practice and changing attitudes to language in the city.
