In the context of both physical and digital mobility, individuals engage in linguistically diverse interactions within offline urban spaces and online social platforms (Pegrum, Dudeney, & Hockly, 2018). These real and virtual spaces do not function independently; rather, they increasingly intersect and foster new forms of literacy through the Internet, impacting daily life (Blommaert, 2015). Digital literacy encompasses a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge that extend beyond mere operatio
SUMMARY
鈥淰erb Second in Medieval Romance鈥� is a thorough approach to understanding the V2 phenomenon in a number of Medieval Romance varieties, spanning from Italo-Romance varieties (Old Sicilian and Old Venetian) to Gallo-Romance varieties (Old French and Old Occitan) to Ibero-Romance (Old Spanish) to Old Sardinian. This book may be divided into three main sections. The first (Chapter 2) deals with a deep analysis of the V2 phenomenon, both in the history of the literature on Germanic V2 as wel
The summer school program focuses on Yoruba, Igbo, and Chinese languages. It encompasses the preservation of cultural heritage, the promotion of multilingualism, the fostering of cultural exchange, and the empowerment of future leaders. By embracing these languages and the cultures they represent, we aim to create a transformative educational experience that not only enhances linguistic abilities but also nurtures cultural understanding, unilateral literacy and global citizenship.

This book argues for a view of study abroad as emergent of, and negotiated through, tensions between localised and globalised imaginaries of language, identity and place. By examining the experiences of a group of Japanese high school students during, and after, a year embedded in families and schools abroad in countries across Europe, Asia and North and South America, it provides the first in-depth exploration of the role of mobile communications technology in study abroad. This includes its fa
This edited volume focuses on the experiences of individuals learning languages other than English (LOTEs) in a range of Asian contexts that have traditionally been under-represented in the literature. Aligning with the 鈥榤ultilingual turn鈥� in SLA, it views learners as individuals of a multilingual society with unique, complex, heterogenous and dynamic identities. The chapters explore the learners鈥� motivational trajectories, multilingual identities and their conceptualisations of the 鈥榠deal multi

This book teaches the basics of the structure of the English language with plentiful extracts from novels, poems and plays, so that literature students learn how to identify parts of speech and discuss their effects. No previous linguistics experience is assumed. Each chapter is divided into a definition of a specific linguistic feature; a demonstration of it in a literary text; a literary exercise where readers identify it themselves and assess its effect; and a brief summary of the teaching po
'Highly Irregular' is an illustrated history of English as told through all the things that are weird about it. Why are there so many silent letters? Why do we have irregular verbs? What is the deal with the word 'colonel'? The weirdness of English can be blamed on specific influences that shaped it, and in this book Arika Okrent investigates the many puzzles of our language to show how English came to be the way it is today.
