Ethnography, Superdiversity and Linguistic Landscapes: Chronicles of Complexity

by Jan Blommaert

Book Overview

Superdiversity has rendered places, groups and practices complex and the usual tools of analysis need rethinking. Using an innovative approach to linguistic landscaping, the author investigates his own neighbourhood from a complexity perspective and demonstrates how multilingual signs can be read as chronicles documenting the histories of a place.
