Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Migration Control - Language Policy, Identity and Belonging

Each chapter in this volume adds an empirical perspective to our understanding of how language relates to migration in a specific national context. The chapters use innovative combinations of multimodal, qualitative and quantitative analyses to examine a broad range of genres and data related to the voices of migrants and reporting about migrants.
