Infos

In multilingual societies speakers overcome traditional language boundaries. Research on their multilingual and multimodal language use intertwines pragmatics including multimodality with cross-linguistic and transcultural perspectives. This volume links theoretical considerations with empirical evidence from data of spoken language use in Catalan, Croatian, English, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Spanish as L1, L2 or FL.

Rezensionen

"This book is a very good resource for how the traditional language limitations can be overcome in multilingual communities. The book integrates theoretical and empirical evidence from the different languages such as Catalan, Spanish, English, Croatian, German, Italian, Brazilian, Portuguese, and Polish as the first language, second language or foreign language. The findings obtained from the studies in the book necessitate considering a conception of grammar description with implications also relevant for the conceptualization of deixis, for second or foreign language learning and language teaching policies. An eye-catching advantage of this book is its division of theoretical and empirical evidence into different parts.[...] On the whole, for those interested in multimodal communication specifically in the multilingual European context, the book is a helpful resource providing a variety of language use forms in different contexts."Sahar Ahmadpour in: LINGUIST List 29.596 https://linguistlist.org/issues/29/29-596.html
