This is a must-read collection for anybody searching for novel ideas in the field of the sociolinguistics of globalisation. This timely and exceptional book recognises diversity both as a challenge and as an opportunity. It focuses on the importance of everyday language practices, as well as other non-linguistic, semiotic and spatial relations. A highly compelling volume which takes a critical inquiry approach to post-multilingual diversity.

Relying on sophisticated translanguaging and translingual analytical frameworks, this timely book explores the multiple complementary and conflicting ways global language practices across multiple semiotic modalities are currently performed around the world in different communities. Methodologically, the book is given a strong sense of immediacy, relying heavily as it does on first person narratives as a mode of data elicitation.

This book does a good job in focusing on the sociolinguists of globalization. One of the strengths of the volume is that it contains not only the theory but also the analysis of actual language in different settings.

This edited volume makes an original contribution to our understanding of translanguaging practices, including some of its shortcomings. The multiple mediums and modalities of meaning making from a wide variety of research sites, including the periphery, provide an excellent survey for students of sociolinguistics and multilingualism who wish to have a detailed picture of the ways globalization has impacted our current world.
