This book is the beginning of a conversation across Social Semiotics, Translanguaging, Complexity Theory and Radical 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, and its social semiotic and situated character. It relocates current debates in linguistics and in multimodality, as well as conceptions of centers/margins, by re-conceptualizing communicative practice through investigation of indigenous/oral communities, street art performances, migration contexts, recycling artefacts and signage repurposing. The book takes an innovative approach to both the form and content of its scholarly writing, and will be of interest to all those involved in interdisciplinary thinking, researching and writing.

Industry Reviews

This is an exceptionally innovative, provocative, and well-planned volume that successfully embodies values of complexity, dialogue, and multimodality that it seeks to promote. By facilitating heterarchic conversations across social semiotics, sociolinguistics, translanguaging, and complexity theory, Making Signs, Translanguaging Ethnographies enriches all of these domains while raising theoretical and methodological questions that will continue to be generative of ever-evolving transdisciplinary dialogue.
