Opis

This book is a critical contribution to the conversation surrounding sociocultural-linguistic uses of the chronotope, demonstrating not only its applicability to theorizing migration, but also to theorizing language and social life more broadly.

Recenzje

"This study indicates issues relevant to general social life, especially how rechronotopization can be linked to the discussion of transformation. Chronotopic resolution helps examine issues like human consideration and justice across several scales and cases, which helps us to understand migrants better in several ways."

- Naji Obaid, Language in Society

"This isinnovative and original research on two diasporic communities which [are] relatively underresearched in applied linguistics...I expect it to open new avenues of inquiry on the topic of language, migration and belonging of transnational migrants in today’s world...The book presents a significant intellectual contribution to the field of applied linguistics by focusing on the complexity of locality and synchronicity...This is an outstanding book with great potential to shape disciplinary conversations around language, migration and space."
