Abstract:

The diffusion of English and the increasing mediatization of our
globalized world have significant impacts on our perceptions of
language and culture. Beginning with an overview of how the
conceptualization of language is currently debated in sociolinguistics
and related fields, this book highlights the need for a new
perspective on language mobility.

Through examining the use of English on German radio morning shows,
the book explores the dynamics of language use in times of accelerated
globalization and provides insights into how the media operate within
the global flows of messages and linguistic resources that
characterize our mediatized societies. In doing so, it demonstrates
how combining the different perspectives of a sociolinguistics of
mobility and contact linguistics allows for a thorough investigation
of language practices in society, and advances the theoretical and
practical approaches to the study of language mobility as a result.
