Notes

¹ I use the term “renewed” deliberately here since, as I argue elsewhere, the recency of this turn towards multilingualism, at least in Western sociolinguistics, disguises the fact that non-Western scholars have long advocated the importance of examining multilingual speakers and their multilingual repertoires (see May, 2011, 2014c).

² In a still-central text, Held et al. (1999), describe this era of globalization thus: “Globalization can be taken to refer to those spatiotemporal processes of change which underpin a transformation in the organization of human affairs by linking together expanding human activity across regions and continents” (p. 15).
