The authoritative reference work on Translanguaging, one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas of research in modern linguistics Translanguaging has transformed how we understand language, bilingualism, and education, challenging conventional views and reshaping theory, policy, and practice. The Handbook of Translanguaging is the most comprehensive resource available, bringing together leading scholars from diverse disciplines and global perspectives to explore the theoretical foundations, educational applications, and interdisciplinary connections of this dynamic concept. Organized into three sections, the Handbook clarifies the conceptual and historical underpinnings of translanguaging, examines the role of translanguaging in education, and explores its intersections with digital communication, gender, media studies, and social justice. Detailed chapters consolidate existing research and set the stage for future inquiry, offering the depth and breadth needed to navigate and contribute to this rapidly evolving field. Integrating theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives, The Handbook of Translanguaging: Features contributions from leading scholars and emerging voices from around the world, particularly from the Global South Addresses key theoretical perspectives, such as raciolinguistics, decoloniality, and bilingual cognition Examines the role of translanguaging bilingual education, language policy, Indigenous language education, literacy development, and assessment Discusses methodological challenges and ethical considerations in translanguaging research Highlights translanguaging's role in resistance, social justice, and transformative praxis Edited by a team of internationally recognized experts, The Handbook of Translanguaging is an invaluable reference for researchers, educators, and policymakers engaged in bilingualism, multilingual education, and language studies. It is also an essential text for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in applied linguistics, bilingual education, sociolinguistics, and language policy.

An increasingly important field of research within multilingualism and sociolinguistics, Family Language Policy (FLP) investigates the explicit and overt planning of language use within the home and among family members. However the diverse range of different family units and contexts around the globe necessitates a similarly diverse range of research perspectives which are not yet represented within the field. Tackling this problem head on, this volume expands the scope of families in FLP research. Bringing together contributors and case studies from every continent, this essential reference broadens lines of inquiry by investigating language practices and ideologies in previously under-researched families. Seeking to better reflect contemporary influences on FLP processes, chapters use innovative methodologies, including digital ethnographies and autoethnography, to explore diverse family configurations (adoptive, LGBTQ+, and single parent), modalities (digital communication and signed languages), and speakers and contexts (adult learners, Indigenous contexts, and new speakers). Bringing to light the dynamic, fluid nature of family and kinship as well as the important role that multilingualism plays in family members' negotiation of power, agency, and identity construction, Diversifying Family Language Policy is a state-of-the-art reference to contemporary theoretical, methodological and ethical advances in the field of family language policy.

This book offers a sociolinguistic study of the Chinese community in Britain. It focuses on generational changes in language choice and code-switching patterns of Chinese immigrant families. The social network model developed in the study is intended to account for the relationship between community norms of language use and conversational strategies of individual speakers, and for the relation of both to the broader social, economic and political context.

The Applied Linguistics Review is a peer reviewed annual publication. It aims to serve as a testing ground for the articulation of original ideas and approaches in the study of real-world issues in which language plays a crucial role, by bringing together new empirical and theoretical research and critical reflections of current debates. The issues dealt with in the Review range from aspects of the linguistic and communicative competence of the individual such as bilingualism and multilingualism, first or second language acquisition, literacy, language disorders, to language and communication related problems in and between societies such as linguistic discrimination, language conflict, communication in the workplace, language policy and language planning, and language ideology
