Call for Papers: Border Languaging: Multilingual Practices on the Border

The work of the border as a productive site of encounter and of the formation of identities and otherness becomes visible through related language use and linguistic performances. In developing a focus on border languaging, we aim to carve out new understandings of (the use of) communicative resources in relation to the border.

Contributing to the growing field of linguistic border studies, this volume puts a special emphasis on practices involving (multilingual) communicative repertoires which challenge the (Western) ideologies of monolingualism and separate plurilingualism and related linguistic-semiotic ordering mechanisms.
