This book explores the ways in which multimodality and multilingualism as areas of study intersect and provides empirical examples of how this looks in practice from a wide range of settings. The chapters include visual as well as linguistic descriptions of practice and provide an accessible introduction to multimodality and multilingualism for a readership from undergraduate students to researchers. The book argues that the everyday practices of multilingual communities are multimodal in nature, and that by working at the intersection of multilingualism and multimodality we may be able to make fruitful advances in multiple areas of applied linguistics, and properly appreciate the actual human complexities of communication.

The editors of this book have brought together cutting-edge scholarship which integrates multimodal and multilingual approaches to social and linguistic research. The range and scope of subject matter, and the depth of analysis, make this an unmissable resource for anyone interested in communication in contemporary life. * Angela Creese, University of Stirling, UK * This is a volume of impressive scope bringing together a selection of cutting-edge research. In their insightful approach, the editors recognize the value of semiotic resources which include and extend beyond language, and put social transformation front and centre. Applied Linguistics is enriched by this vibrant collection that explores the horizons of the field. * James Simpson, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology *
