Translinguistics

Jerry Won Lee is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Irvine, USA.Sender Dovchin is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Education at Curtin University, Australia.

"Within this volume, Lee & Dovchin have been able to cover the gaps left by the ‘intellectual fetishism’ that surrounds the present understanding of translingual communicative practices and multilingualism. Rather than a simple turn, we can now firmly talk about a translingual highway in front of us for the study of language and society."Massimiliano Spotti, Tilburg University, The Netherlands
