- This 202pp. monograph demonstrates sustained research effort through its close critical engagement with research literatures that reveal the complex intersection between migration and multilingualism. The empirical basis for the study is a substantial corpus of in-depth interviews with research participants who have migrated to Berlin from many parts of the world. Focusing on the life stories of 5 inhabitants of a single building, a long central chapter offers a detailed and nuanced analysis of the myriad ways in which the participants’ lived experience of language and their resulting linguistic repertoires have shaped their transnational life worlds.
