Constrained multilingualism
Multilingualism is constrained in many ways and for different reasons. This is something that has been highlighted since the beginning of studies on how multiple languages work and coexist in socie
‘No in English I don’t do that’: Exploring Gambian migrants’ linguistic cooperation in Italy
This study explores the experience of linguistic cooperation of migrants, focussing on their varying degrees of reliance on others for communication. It adopts an approach that draws theoretically on innovations in the understanding of competence beyond the cognitive-structuralist paradigm and more broadly on the importance of cooperation in the social sphere. Based on the lived experience of Gambian migrants in a shelter as it emerges interactio…
‘I Said I’m Young You Know I Can Plan Something Good You Know’: Understanding Language and Migration Through Time
Applied linguistics has started to consider the importance of time for the understanding of meaning-making, for example in the conceptualization of chronotopes, or in stressing the relevance of speed and entrepreneurial views of the self for migrants. This study takes a step ahead by starting from the concept of memory as mobile, following Michel de Certeau (1990), and looking at the different ways in which the experience of time plays a role in …
Constraints, suffering, and surfacing repertoires among Gambian migrants in Italy
This article explores one underestimated aspect of language in migration settings, namely the experience of not being in full control of circumstances and doing. Recent research has indeed highlighted aspects such as transcendence of boundaries, hinting at a version of multilingualism among migrants that does not feature enough of their experience of constraints. In contrast, other scholars have emphasised structural inequalities often focusing o…
Questioning translanguaging creativity through Michel de Certeau
This article questions theoretically the conceptualisation of creativity put forth by the translanguaging paradigm, i.e. the speakers' ability to push and break language boundaries and flout behavioural norms. It does so by considering Michel de Certeau's view of everyday language use as creative by virtue of its being able to take advantage of a space of action. De Certeau's view emphasises the existence of constraints as a key aspect of creativ…
Sustaining the nation: The making and moving of language and nation
Quella era veramente è Little Italy, la nostra Little Italy: Multiple centres, cultural presence and the articulation of spaces of speech from Tasmania
This article examines the intersections between migrant experiences, multilingual practices, and the creation of space. It does so by focusing on Italians who migrated to Tasmania, a group that has long been isolated from the rest of the Italian diaspora. Using an ethnographic approach within a constructivist framework, this research shows that when experiences of movement are recounted in interaction they bring about spaces of speech that are po…
Advertising to Italian English Bilinguals in Australia: Attitudes and Response to Language Selection
This article explores attitudes and response to language selection in advertising targeting Italian bilinguals who belong to a defined speech community. The research builds upon (i) research on multilingual advertising by investigating its attitudinal correlates, and (ii) studies on advertising to bilinguals through the verification of the presence of processing fluency effects among Italian English bilinguals in Australia. Results drawn from a f…
Bilingual idiosyncratic dimensions of language attitudes
The goal of this study is to identify new dimensions of language attitudes to allow for both their multidimensionality and possible language-specificity stemming from local sociolinguistic environments. Adopting a two-step methodology comprising (1) elicitation of adjectives in group interviews and (2) employment of the semantic differential technique within a direct approach, this article demonstrates that language attitudes of bilinguals may be…
