Description
Hatoss explores multilingualism in diverse suburbs of Sydney through the oral and written narratives of student ethnographers.
Her research is based on visual ethnography, interviews with local residents, and classroom discussions of the fieldwork. The findings of this book contribute to the scholarship of sociolinguistics of globalisation and seek to enhance our understanding of the complex interrelationship between the linguistic landscape and its participants: how language choices are negotiated, how identity and ideologies shape interactions in everyday contexts of the urban landscape. The narrative approach provides a multi-layered analysis to better understand the micro and macro connections shaping everyday interactions, conviviality, and social relations. Hatoss offers methodological and pedagogical insights into the development of global citizenship and intercultural competence through the experiential learning provided by the linguistic landscape project.
This volume is a useful source for researchers working in diverse fields of multilingualism, diaspora studies, narratives, and digital ethnographies in sociolinguistics. It offers methodological insights into the study of urban multilingualism and pedagogical insights into using linguistic landscapes for developing intercultural competence.

Reviews / Votes
"Aniko Hatoss has provided us with a fascinatingly intricate portrait of multilingualism as experienced in a wide range of diverse streets in Sydney. Her book has been carefully crafted to privilege the lived experiences of multilingualism of both student ethnographers and local residents, whilst interweaving theoretical, methodological and pedagogical insights. Underpinned by a commitment to social justice and to valuing our multilingualism, the book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of linguistic landscapes and the stories we can find in them. Through it, we get to know Sydney in a dazzlingly rich way."---Professor Terry Lamb, University of Westminster"Suburbia is frequently characterised as bland and mundane. Yet in the metropolis, it is often in suburban landscapes that languages, cultures, and identities are on full display. This book brings alive the lived experience of Sydney suburban multilingualism to discuss the broader socio-cultural and linguistic implications of linguistic diversity. These discussions are urgently needed in student and teacher education, and Hatoss presents a thought-provoking project that grounds critical language awareness and intercultural competence development in everyday lived multilingual experience."---Associate Professor Alice Chik, Macquarie University
