Description
Language and Mobility: Unexpected Places explores how languages, cultures, and people intersect in unexpected locations. Through personal narratives, Alastair Pennycook examines the ways in which travel, mobility, and locality shape our understanding of language and culture.
The book asks what renders the unexpected so significant and how we can challenge our assumptions about where languages and cultures are found. By shedding light on these intersections, Pennycook offers a nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between people, places, and language.
