Making Signs, Translanguaging Ethnographies - Exploring Urban, Rural and Educational Spaces

This book is the start of a conversation across Social Semiotics, Translanguaging, Complexity Theory and Sociolinguistics. In its explorations of meaning, multimodality, communication and emerging language practices, the book includes theoretical and empirical chapters that move toward an understanding of communication in its dynamic complexity.
