Beskrivning
The chapters in this volume seek to bring hybrid language practices to the center of discussions about English as a global language. They demonstrate how local linguistic resources and practices are involved in the refashioning of identities in a variety of cross-cultural and geographical contexts, and illustrate hybridity as an enactment of resistance and creativity. Drawing on a variety of disciplines and ideological perspectives, the authors use contexts as diverse as social media, Bollywood films, workplaces and kindergartens to explore the ways in which English has become a part of localities and social relations in ways that are of significant sociolinguistic interest in understanding the dynamics of mobile cultures and transcultural flows.

Recensioner i media

Linguistic and cultural landscapes in our global society are changing so much and so fast as to render existing sociolinguistic theories hopelessly inadequate. In response, this book problematizes several concepts including hybridity and bilingualism, shedding critical light on metrolingual, transglossic, and transcultural phenomena. Voices from around the world present a compelling piece of analysis that our profession cannot afford to ignore.
