Using conversation analysis, we show how translingual…

Canagarajah, Suresh – Applied Linguistics, 2018
The expanding orientations to translingualism are motivated by a gradual shift from the structuralist paradigm that has been treated as foundational in modern linguistics. Structuralism encouraged scholars to consider language, like other social constructs, as organized as a self-defining and closed structure, set apart from spatiotemporal…

Zhu, Hua; Li, Wei; Jankowicz-Pytel, Daria – Applied Linguistics, 2020
This article explores language learning as a process of translanguaging and of cultural translation. We draw examples from a sociolinguistic ethnography of translanguaging practices in a karate club in east London, UK. Formulaic Japanese is taught as part of karate techniques, practised as the language of performance and rituals and valued as the…

Poulisse, Nanda; Bongaerts, Theo – Applied Linguistics, 1994
