Book Overview

This book presents an original empirical study on the linguistic repertoires of post-2008 Italian migrants living in London. The author interrogates how migrants’ trajectories and their relation with their homeland’s migration history are displayed through the engagement of new multilingual practices, such as translanguaging, and how new identities are negotiated during conversational acts.

The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Sociolinguistics and Migration Studies.
