Multimodality and Multilingualism

<p>This book explores the ways in which multimodality and multilingualism as areas of study intersect and provides empirical examples of how this looks in practice from a wide range of settings. The chapters include visual as well as linguistic descriptions of practice and provide an accessible introduction to multimodality and multilingualism for a readership from undergraduate students to researchers. The book argues that the everyday practices of multilingual communities are multimodal in nature, and that by working at the intersection of multilingualism and multimodality we may be able to make fruitful advances in multiple areas of applied linguistics, and properly appreciate the actual human complexities of communication.</p>
