The book covers migration theories, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology, and education studies, and offers practical guidance on using discourse analysis to identify how migrant identities are constructed in the media.

Language and Migration is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the intricate relationship between language and migration. Drawing on real-world case studies from diverse regions across the globe, including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and New Zealand, this book delves into the language and literacy practices that sustain, extend, or hinder different forms of migration. Through an interdisciplinary lens that examines empires and colonialism, transnationalism, and globalization, the book explores individual trajectories, family networks, and societal-level policies that shape migration experiences.
The book examines the linguistic diversity that arises from voluntary and forced migration, covering theories from migration studies, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology, and education studies. It provides a broad coverage of various contexts of migration worldwide, offering students and teachers valuable insights into migration theories, applied linguistics, complex migration experiences, language and power in economic migration, and the role of language in shaping broader debates about migration's impact on national and international policies.
In addition to its theoretical insights, Language and Migration offers practical guidance on using discourse analysis to understand how migrant identities are constructed in the media and how this affects our perceptions of asylum, immigration, and social cohesion. Each chapter includes a range of activities and case studies that facilitate student engagement and enhance understanding of the topic.
Designed as essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying language and migration, this book offers a rich and comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted relationship between language and mobility.
