It considers how they develop metrics to account for sociolinguistic change and authenticate their projects and practices in transnational timespace. In doing so, the book brings power differentials to the centre of language and objectivity debates and foregrounds material semiotics as an approach that enables a new collective potential and redefinition of sociolinguistic listening. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By connecting research on scale in migration contexts with studies of embodied soundwork and of stance in semiotics, this book highlights how a focus on the sounded sign may bring us closer to the ways in which bodies and meanings are (re)made, and collective doing and thinking are formed in the globalised world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kinga Kozminska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350331341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350331341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Kinga Kozminska","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484968300799,"sku":"9781350331341","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_667146d8-f095-4ea1-9e5a-2ba704a18cca.jpg?v=1778047032","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soundings-and-the-politics-of-kinga-kozminska-9781350331341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
