Abstract:

Bringing together scholars specialising in Russian studies, linguistic
and cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics and ethnolinguistics, this
collection examines the discursive practices in which migrants’ homes
are framed, negotiated and constructed to reveal the complexity and
ambivalence of home as a concept and as a phenomenon of social life.
By examining migrants’ stories about moving home, the book explores
the stages of linguistic and cultural adaptation. It demonstrates that
immigrants’ homes are semiotic storehouses revealing their owners’
past and present as well as aspirations for the future. It presents
the first multifaceted investigation of the interdependence of
materiality and emotions and materiality and language use by
Russian-speaking immigrants.

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics
