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.
