{"product_id":"multilingualism-and-identity-wendy-ayres-bennett-9781108748285","title":"Multilingualism and Identity","description":"The analysis and understanding of multilingualism, and its relationship to identity in the face of globalization, migration and the increasing dominance of English as a lingua franca, makes it a complex and challenging problem that requires insights from a range of disciplines. With reference to a variety of languages and contexts, this book offers fascinating insights into multilingual identity from a team of world-renowned scholars, working from a range of different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Three overarching themes are explored - situatedness, identity practices, and investment - and detailed case studies from different linguistic and cultural contexts are included throughout. The chapter authors' consideration of 'multilingualism-as-resource' challenges the conception of 'multilingualism-as-problem', which has dogged so much political thinking in late modernity. The studies offer a critical lens on the types of linguistic repertoire that are celebrated and valued, and introduce the policy implications of their findings for education and wider social issues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Ayres-Bennett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108748287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108748285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.89d","brand":"Wendy Ayres-Bennett","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438144008447,"sku":"9781108748285","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d46bfd62-9e86-4ce7-af18-903a2d1a9d27.jpg?v=1777169113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multilingualism-and-identity-wendy-ayres-bennett-9781108748285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
