Choreographies of Multilingualism

Writing and Language Ideology in Singapore

Beschreibung

Choreographies of Multilingualism provides a comprehensive view of how Singapore's multilingualism is constructed through writing. Drawing on a wide range of data, including public signage, literary anthologies, social media writing, advertisements, and text-based commodities, Tong King Lee offers nuanced analyses of the multiple vectors that crisscross the linguistic landscape of a multilingual city. The book combines different theoretical and methodological perspectives and will be of interest to students and scholars across several fields, namely sociolinguistics, cultural studies, literary studies, and translation.
