Blyth University of Texas at Austin https://ror.org/00hj54h04 Dialogue in Multilingual and Multimodal Communities contains a collection of new articles that approach the study of dialogue through the construct of the ‘community’, that is, a group of people who come together for any number of reasons; e.g. geographical location, a common goal, a search for unity or bonding, or a particular set of circumstances. The authors address a wide range of topics such as dialogic skills as situated practice, the learning of culture, and the negotiation of identities between native speakers and L2 learners. This volume also investigates how native and non-native speakers learn various community-based aspects of dialogic interaction, such as how to interpret social contexts, stances, frames and gestures. Despite different methodologies and frameworks, the studies demonstrate that native speakers and L2 learners alike use multiple ‘vocalizations’ of a language. 27 7 10 2015 6 26 2015 9789027210449 9789027268334 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/ds.27 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027268334 https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ds.27/html https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027268334.pdf Steven L. Thorne Portland State University and University of Groningen Dejan Ivković York University Linguascaping discursive ontologies This research examines ‘virtual linguistic landscapes’ (Ivković and Lotherington 2009) visible in user-generated YouTube.com comment fields associated with video clips of the Eurovision Song Contest. We begin by discussing contemporary sociolinguistic approaches and terminology (e.g. multi-, pluri-, polylingualism) attuned to complex phenomena in social media language contact zones. Following an application of these approaches to data, we argue that the emergence of a user-generated virtual linguistic landscape is usefully understood as a process of ‘linguascaping’ (Jaworski et al. 2003; Ivković 2012); i.e. linguistic engagements that propagate opinions, beliefs and ideological positions. As applied to YouTube comment fields, linguascaping suggests an agentive process of constructing and contesting possible ethno-linguistic identifications and power relations through semiotic resources. 7 10 2015 6 26 2015 167 192 10.1075/ds.27.06tho https://benjamins.com/catalog/ds.27.06tho https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/ds.27.06tho/html Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism Anderson 2006 10.1177/1367006913489198 10.1177/13670069990030040101 10.1080/15405700802198113 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195313055.001.0001 Language Online: Investigating Digital Texts and Practices Barton 2013 10.4324/9780203552308 Linguistic Landscape: Expanding the Scenery Ben-Rafael 40 2009 “A Sociological Approach to the Study of Linguistic Landscapes.” Multilingualism: A Critical Perspective Blackledge 2010 10.1017/CBO9780511845307 Working Papers in Urban Language and Literacies Paper Blommaert 63 2 2011 Language and Superdiversity: A Position Paper Verbal Hygiene Cameron 1995 10.1080/14790710608668386 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195304794.001.0001 Building Activity Theory in Practice: Toward the Next Generation Engeström 1 1 2006 “Development, Movement and Agency: Breaking Away into Mycorrhizae Activities.” Bilingual Education in the 21st Century: A Global Perspective García 2009 Fandom: Identities and Communities in a Mediated World Gray 2007 Introduction to Integrational Linguistics Harris 1998 10.1093/applin/ams053 10.1515/9783110849615 10.1075/ps.2.1.06ifu Virtual Linguistic Landscape: A Perspective on Multilingualism in Cyberspace Ivković 2012 Language@Internet Ivković 10 2013 “The Eurovision Song Contest on YouTube: A Corpus-Based Analysis of Language Attitudes.” Semiotica Ivković Towards a Semiotics of Mültilingüälism 10.1080/14790710802582436 10.1080/09658410308667063 Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide Jenkins 2006 Understanding Digital Literacies: A Practical Introduction Jones 2012 10.4324/9780203095317 10.1080/14790710802387562 “Polylingualism, Multilingualism, Plurilingualism.
