The sociolinguistic study of speech practices for meaning-making has gained momentum after studies of urban adolescents with mixed ethnic and language backgrounds revealed that they cross language borders to construct fluid discursive identities. This book focuses on emerging hybridizing speech practices across genres through contact with English.

Speech practices as discursive practices for meaning-making across domains, genres, and social groups is an under-researched, highly complex field of sociolinguistics. This field has gained momentum after innovative studies of adolescents and young adults with mixed ethnic and language backgrounds revealed that they «cross» language and dialectal or vernacular borders to construct their own hybrid discursive identities. The focus in this volume is on the diversity of emerging hybridizing speech practices through contact with English, predominantly in Europe. Contributions to this collected volume originate from the DFG funded conference on language contact in times of globalization (LCTG4) and from members of the editor’s funded research group «Discursive Multilingualism».
