Opis

The sociolinguistic study of speech practices for meaning-making has gained momentum after studies of urban adolescents with mixed ethnic and language backgrounds revealed that they cross language borders to construct fluid discursive identities. This book focuses on emerging hybridizing speech practices across genres through contact with English.
