Beschreibungen
<p>This book takes urban Wolof beyond Senegal to consider the effects of mobility on language and examine how the diasporans engage in their daily language practices as transmigrants. The parallel between languaging and migrating underpins the author's argument, as he examines the dynamicity of languaging at both micro and macro levels, as speakers navigate across spaces and languages. Moving away from a code-based approach, the author makes a compelling case that the urbanite, rather than shuttling between codes, deploys instead idiolectal features from a unique linguistic repertoire which comprises at once semiotic, cognitive, and language features. His indigenous approach affords novel perspectives in linguistic ethnography and complements the Euro-Western methodologies.</p>
<p>1 Introduction and con ceptual considerations.- 2 Identity and roles of the Senegalese transmigrant.- 3 Language practices in the dahiras.- 4 Commensality.- 5 Language attitudes and identity construction.- 6 Conclusions: revisiting urban Wolof – insights from transmigration and translanguaging.</p>

<p>“Through the lens of linguistic ethnography, <em>Urban Wolof across Borders</em> offers a captivating linguistic journey, providing readers with a comprehensive exploration of the language dynamics among millions of Wolof speakers in Senegal and worldwide. Aziz possesses a unique ability to interconnect central macrolinguistic and microlinguistic aspects, expanding the limits of Wolof studies and paving the way for future research endeavours.”</p>

<p>“This important book provides major new insights into urban Wolof, Senegalese transmigration andits impact on language practices. Breaking with the conventional approach of looking at these practices through the lens of codeswitching, Dieng shows how the Senegalese diaspora use a single linguistic repertoire that draws on many languages. His questioning of the very notion of codeswitching in the African context has significance that goes well beyond the specific case of Senegal and will be of great interest to those working in Applied Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, African Diaspora Studies and Francophone African Studies. It is a truly fascinating read.”</p>
