Abstract:

 This volume explores linguistic diversity and complexity in different
urban contexts, many of which have never been subject to significant
sociolinguistic inquiry. A novel mixture of cities of varying size
from around the world is studied, from megacities to smaller cities on
the national periphery. All chapters discuss either the
multilingualism or the pluricentric aspect of the linguistic diversity
in urban areas, most focussing on one urban centre.

The book showcases multiple approaches ranging from a quantitative
investigation based partly on census data, to qualitative studies
flowing, for example, from extensive ethnographic work or discourse
analysis. The diverse theoretical backgrounds and methodological
approaches in the individual chapters are complemented by two chapters
outlining the current trends and debates in the sociolinguistic
research on urban multilingualism and pluricentricity and suggesting
some possible directions for future investigations in this field.The
book thus provides a broad overview of sociolinguistic research of
multilingual places and pluricentric languages.
