(2026) https://linguistlist.org/issues/37/1453/ The contributors argue that multilingual repertoires are shaped by various forms of mobility – physical, symbolic, and digital. Across diverse contexts, mobility generates new linguistic resources, reshapes identities, and prompts individuals to negotiate belonging and power. They show that multilingualism is flexible, emotionally charged, and deeply tied to social hierarchies, conflict, and shifting ideologies. While mobility can foster hybridity and creativity, it can also reinforce exclusion Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:05:02 -0400 The LINGUIST List: Books: Inside Refugee Support Work: Hassemer (2026) https://linguistlist.org/issues/37/1452/ This book explores the construction of ‘languaged’ and professional subjectivities in the context of refugee support work in Austria.
