The Routledge Handbook of Multilingualism provides a comprehensive survey of the field of multilingualism for a global readership, and an overview of the research which situates multilingualism in its social, cultural and political context. This fully revised edition not only updates several of the original chapters, but introduces many new ones that enrich contemporary debates in the burgeoning field of multilingualism. With a decolonial perspective and including leading new and established contributors from different regions of the globe, the handbook offers a critical overview of the interdisciplinary field of multilingualism, providing a range of central themes, key debates and research sites for a global readership. Chapters address the profound epistemological and ontological challenges and shifts produced since the first edition in 2012. The handbook includes an introduction, five sections with 28 chapters and an afterword. The chapters are structured around sub-themes, such as Coloniality and Multilingualism, Concepts and Theories in Multilingualism and Multilingualism and Education. This ground-breaking text is a crucial resource for researchers, scholars and postgraduate students interested in multilingualism from areas such as sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, anthropology and education.

The volume explores linguistic practices and choices in the late antique Eastern Mediterranean. It investigates how linguistic diversity and change influenced the social dimension of human interaction, affected group dynamics, the expression and negotiation of various communal identities, such as professional groups of mosaic-makers, stonecutters, or their supervisors in North Syria, bilingual monastic communities in Palestine, elusive producers of Coptic ritual texts in Egypt, or Jewish communities in Dura Europos and Palmyra. The key question is: what do we learn about social groups and human individuals by studying their multilingualism and language practices reflected in epigraphic and other written sources?

In this book, four multilingual adolescents who have experienced migration have their say. They discuss their language acquisition biographies, and their concepts of and views on language, language use, and language acquisition. Using qualitative analysis and conversation analysis methods, this volume reveals adolescents with hybrid linguistic identities - focusing on their linguistic biographies and their lay knowledge of language. Mehrsprachigkeit und Migration sind fest im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs angekommen. Aber nicht nur die Gesellschaft denkt über die Vielfalt der Sprachen und Kulturen Deutschlands nach, es sind die Individuen selbst, die über Mehrsprachigkeit, Sprachgebrauch und Sprachidentität nachdenken. Die hier vorliegende qualitative Untersuchung mit vier jugendlichen Mehrsprachigen mit Migrationserfahrung zeigt, dass hybride mehrsprachige Identitäten inmitten der deutschen Gesellschaft angekommen sind, auch in der Schule. Vier Jugendliche denken über ihre Sprachen nach, reflektieren ihren Sprachgebrauch und ihre Sprachbiographien und sie zeigen dabei, dass ihre gelebte Mehrsprachigkeit sie zu sprachbewussten und sprachlernerfahrenen Menschen macht, die mit ihren Erfahrungen wertvolle Beiträge für die Gestaltung unserer vielsprachigen Gesellschaft leisten können. Die in acht intensiven Zweiergesprächen erhobenen Daten, die die Grundlage dieser Dissertationsschrift darstellen, wurden durch die Kombination einer qualitativen Inhaltanalyse und gesprächsanalytischen Verfahrensweisen ausgewertet und einerseits für tiefgehende Einzelfallanalysen sowie andererseits für die Entwicklung eines Modells der mehrsprachigen Identität aus individueller Perspektive nutzbar gemacht, das einen Beitrag zur Theoriebildung in der Soziolinguistik leisten möchte.
