Abstract:
This anthology is the result of an international conference held at Roskilde University, Denmark, on May 23-24, 2003. The aim of the conference was to investigate the different kinds of linguistic and sociocultural contacts brought about by transnational migrations and social mobility in the contemporary world. The theoretical and methodological focus was on various forms of integration between on the one hand sociolinguistics, the sociology of language and language policy, and on the other hand the general area of cultural studies: studies of cultural and social identities, of multiculturality, cultural hybridity and identity politics in complex societies.
