«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.»
