The diversity of language in Australia in pre-invasion times is well attested, with at least 300 distinct languages being spoken along with many dialects.

In this essay we examine the notions of language contact phenomena such as borrowing, codeswitching, codemixing, codemeshing, and translanguaging. We also explore the concepts of translingualism and translingual literacies. We discuss how the notions of bilingualism and multilingualism are differentiated from translingualism and translingual…

Lamb, Gavin – Multilingua: Journal of Cross-Cultural and Interlanguage Communication, 2015
The transgressive use of language by out-group speakers, or crossing is used in a variety of ways to achieve both affiliative and disaffiliative ends among youths. However, crossing can also be used as an affiliative resource in asymmetrical power relations between teachers and students. Reporting on the findings of a 1.5 year ethnography of an…
