In their new book, Pennycook and Otsuji introduce the notion of ''metrolingualism'': the use of language in urban contexts by people of differing linguistic backgrounds. Due to increasing urban diversity, the use of language within cities is changing. The authors explore language and linguistics within a number of contemporary situations, including markets, the kitchen and construction sites. Using different global cities as examples, the book engages with current debates about multilingualism and develops a new way of thinking about language. This text will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers of sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.
