Code-Switching in Arts

Incorporating more than one linguistic code or mode of expression in literary
and artistic productions has quickly grown over the last two decades. This
volume pays special attention to the dynamic rise of code-switching especially
in literature and performative arts, and explores strategies used by
contemporary artists to compose their multilingual narratives as well as moves
beyond the linguistic level in the direction of multimodality. The innovative
frameworks and descriptions intend to highlight the different ways in which
art, unlike ordinary language use, manifests language mixing and switching.
Besides the papers by both young and established scholars, the volume includes
a section of valuable contributions from multilingual authors and artists to
bridge the gap between academic approaches and creative professional
practices.
