Recenzii
An uplifting and inspirational look at the power and provocation of multilingualism. Through a deeply engaged investigation of written public language in Singapore, Lee shows how multilingualism can simultaneously function as a tool to undergird institutional initiatives, a resource for spirited resistance, and a lively performance, emergent across time and around the globe, to help us all simultaneously reaffirm and reinvent our world. Read this book and contemplate, in fascination, how we speak, write, and read multiple languages to both make that world and make our way through it.
This book is a rich description of the multilingual ecology and economy in the Singapore context. It considers not just the duality of establishment and anti-establishment, but also shows a deep, contemporary appreciation for complexity, tension and creativity in how it traces the evolution of performances of multilingualism by multiple players involved in the complex interweaving of multilingual performance in the Singapore context... this book provides rich, innovative and current insights into the dynamic interplays of multilingualism as linguistic performance in the Singapore context.
This book investigates the institutional and grassroots writing in multilingual Singapore to reveal the complex ways in which multilingualism is imagined and performed...The author concludes the book by proposing a postmultilingual future for multilingualism in Singapore, which leaves readers with an alternative perspective to ponder.
TK Lee's new book breaks new grounds in the sociolinguistic study of writing, urban multilingualism, translation and semiotic landscapes.
