Description
Language and Superdiversity brings together leading scholars to explore the complex world of language in the face of accelerating social change. This landmark volume examines how new technologies and migration flows have created novel sociolinguistic environments, challenging traditional notions of language and literacy. The authors' research focuses on the intersection of superdiversity, sociolinguistics, and education, shedding light on the diverse repertoires and practices of participants in interaction. By exploring three key themes - Sketching the paradigm, Sociolinguistic complexity, and Policing complexity - this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field and its current state-of-the-art research. A valuable resource for educators, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamic nature of language in contemporary society, Language and Superdiversity is an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the complexities of superdiversity.
