Angesichts des Wandels hin zu einer digitalen Welt sollten Forschungsrichtungen, die sich mit Sprache/n befassen, mit ihrem jeweiligen Potenzial neu betrachtet und stärker miteinander verknüpft werden. Im Kontext des Fremdsprachenunterrichts kommen fachdidaktische und sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsrichtungen zusammen, z.B. bei der Verknüpfung von Ansätzen aus der Mehrsprachigkeitsdidaktik und der Linguistic-Landscape-Forschung. Bei beiden nimmt die Sichtbarkeit bzw. Wahrnehmung von Sprache/n eine bedeutende Rolle ein. Der Französischunterricht kann hierbei dadurch profitieren, dass mittels digitaler Medien ein Zugang zur Fremdsprache auch ohne unmittelbaren Kontakt zu einem fremdsprachlichen Gegenüber vermittelt werden kann. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bands tragen dazu bei, den Austausch zwischen Fachwissenschaft, Fachdidaktik und der konkreten schulischen Praxis vor dem Hintergrund der Digitalisierung fördern.

This book is the beginning of a conversation across Social Semiotics, Translanguaging, Complexity Theory and Radical Sociolinguistics. In its explorations of meaning, multimodality, communication and emerging language practices, the book includes theoretical and empirical chapters that move toward an understanding of communication in its dynamic complexity, and its social semiotic and situated character. It relocates current debates in linguistics and in multimodality, as well as conceptions of centers/margins, by re-conceptualizing communicative practice through investigation of indigenous/oral communities, street art performances, migration contexts, recycling artefacts and signage repurposing. The book takes an innovative approach to both the form and content of its scholarly writing, and will be of interest to all those involved in interdisciplinary thinking, researching and writing.

The studies in this collection seek to examine the notions of ‘linguistic diversity’ and ‘hybridity’ through the lenses of new critical theories and theoretical frameworks embedded within the broader discussion of the sociolinguistics of globalization. The chapters include critical inquiries into online/offline languages in society, language users, language learners and language teachers who may operate ‘between’ languages and are faced with decisions to navigate, negotiate and invent or re-invent languages, local and global and virtual spaces. The research took place in contexts that include linguistic landscapes, schools, classrooms, neighborhoods and virtual spaces of Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Korea and the USA.

The appointment of Nelson Mandela as President of South Africa in 1994 signalled the end of apartheid and transition to a new democratic constitution. This book studies discursive trends during the first twenty years of the new democracy, outlining the highlights and challenges of transforming policy, practice and discursive formations. The book analyses a range of discourses which signal how and by what processes the linguistic landscape and identities of South Africa’s inhabitants have changed in this time, finding that struggles in South African politics go hand in hand with shifts in the linguistic landscape. In a country now characterised by multilingualism, heteroglossia, polyphony and translanguaging, the author debates where the discourse practices of those born post-1994 may lead.
