Description
Translingual Practices: Playfulness and Precariousness offers a comprehensive examination of how individuals engage with multiple languages in creative and innovative ways. The book delves into the linguistic strategies employed by multilingual speakers who skillfully blend languages, codes, and communicative modes to construct meaning and identity.
Drawing on contemporary research in language contact studies, the authors investigate the intersection of playfulness and precariousness in translingual communication. The work highlights how speakers navigate power dynamics, social hierarchies, and linguistic insecurity while simultaneously engaging in creative linguistic experimentation.
