This field guide is an invitation to explore hotels, markets, museums, checkpoints, gardens, bridges, towers and streets as sites of translation. These are spaces whose meanings are shaped by language traffic and by a clash of memories. Touching on a host of issues from migration to the future of Indigenous cultures, from the politics of architecture to contemporary metrolingualism, Translation Sites powerfully illuminates questions of public interest Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record Subject Translanguaging (Linguistics) -- Case studies Multilingualism -- Case studies Sociolinguistics -- Case studies Translating and interpreting -- Case studies LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics.
