- Drawing on the author’s extensive research conducted over many years in Africa, Europe and the UK, Bilingualism as Interactional Practices surveys the full range of socio-functional perspectives on bilingual conversation. It demonstrates that the discipline, having achieved its original objective of rehabilitating bilingual language use, is currently at a crossroad and shows how the discipline can be taken forward. Using specific case studies, the author argues that, to continue to be interesting and relevant, bilingualism will have to be viewed as consisting of diverse interactional practices and be investigated as such.
