Abstract:

Bringing together work from a team of international scholars, this
groundbreaking book explores how language users employ translingualism
playfully, while, at the same time, negotiating precarious situations,
such as the breaking of social norms and subverting sociolinguistic
boundaries. It includes a range of ethnographic studies from around
the globe, to provide us with insights into the everyday lives of
language users and learners and their lived experiences, and how these
interact in translingual practices. A number of mixed methodological
frameworks are included to study language users' behaviours,
experiences and actions, cover the complexity of language evolutionary
processes, and ultimately show that precarity is as fundamental to
translingualism as playfulness. It points to a future research
direction in which research should be pragmatically applied into real
pedagogical actions by revealing the sociolinguistic realities of
translingual users, fundamentally addressing broader issues of racism,
social injustice, language activism and other human rights issues.
