"This collection of thirteen essays examines sociolinguistic phenomena in a wide variety of marginal environments, providing both an overview of globalizaiton on the margins and a foundation for an expanded understanding of the processes of linguistic and cultural changes at work in these settings. Taking an expansive conceptual view of margins, the volume is organized in three parts, looking at examples of marginal spaces in the nation-state, in online environments, and in the peripheries of urban locations, globally to call attention to new and changing discursive genres, patterns, practices, and identities emerging in these spaces as a result of contemporary mobilities, the evolving global economy, and socio-political changes. With previo us research previously confined to the study of globalization in urban areas, this volume opens the door for further research on the complex sociolinguistic processes resulting from globalization on the margins, making this an ideal resource for students and scholars in sociolinguistics, globalization and heritage studies, new media, anthropology, and cultural studies"--

Abstract
This paper adopts a digital ethnographic approach to analyze concrete communicative practices with Elder Biaoqing, a type of graphic semiotic resources comparable to emojis and memes, typically designed for and used by older people on Chinese social media. Following Silverstein's theorizing, it reveals the emergence of multiple indexicalities of Elder Biaoqing that are a result of several social factors: the growth of an older population online, people's reflections on their communicative needs engendered by specific social facts, and people's ethno-metapragmatics. The study of Elder Biaoqing reveals users' agency in creating semiotic resources, the inequality between digital natives and digital migrants, and age anxiety in Chinese society. The findings invite a re-imagination of social facts – the existence of an online–offline nexus and a re-thinking of theories for sociocultural research in a digital era – ontological perspectives on multimodal resources and digital infrastructures, developments of the theoretical perspective of indexicality, and a total-semiotic-fact approach to digitally mediated social interaction.

Abstract
The Chinese are one of the earliest established immigrant communities in the Netherlands and they are part of the new 'superdiversity' of metropolitan societies around the world, where the relative clarity of previous migration patterns is overlaid by vastly more complex, multilayered and less stable trajectories of movement. Understanding globalization as superdiversity (i.e. as a diversification of diversity instead of a homogenization of global culture in local language and culture practices), this paper aims to disentangle the complexities of being and knowing Chinese in the Netherlands, with respect to internal diversities within Chineseness and its relation to changing Chinese language ideologies.
The empirical starting point for this contribution is an ethnographic project among young people of Chinese heritage living in the Netherlands in and around the setting of a complementary Chinese language school in the city of Eindhoven. The paper focuses on the polycentricity of Chinese, the transformations that occur in the linguistic culinary landscape and the discursive identity construction of Chinese-Dutch youth. Using a multi-site ethnographic methodology data are collected through structured observations, interviews with Chinese community members, linguistic landscaping and online ethnography.
Overall, the paper argues that an ongoing shift along with demographic, economic and political changes in China has altered migration patterns, language ideologies and linguistic landscapes in the Chinese diaspora in the Netherlands. Young people of Chinese heritage articulate a whole repertoire of inhabited and ascribed identities, and they do so by means of a complex display and deployment of the ensemble of linguistic and communicative resources at their disposal.

Auf dem Hintergrund der demografischen Entwicklung von bestimmten Immigrantengruppen in den Niederlanden - z.B. von Türken, Marokkanern, Chinesen und Molukkern, welche sich deutlich von der 'autochthon-niederländischen Bevölkerung unterscheiden - werden die Folgen für die Bildungspolitik thematisiert. Es wird eine Übersicht über die Bildungsprogramme seit den 80er Jahren gegeben und auf Beispiele für einen interkulturellen Unterricht, d.h. zum Minderheitssprachen- und zum Zweitsprachenunterricht, hingewiesen. Ferner wird die Entwicklung der politischen Anerkennung einer multiethnischen oder multilingualen Gesellschaft in den Niederlanden und die Bedeutung des Sprachunterrichts als 'Akkulturierung' dargestellt. Abschließend werden die Ziele der sogenannten 'Van-Kemenado-Kommission' hinsichtlich einer Politik zur 'Rückstandsbekämpfung' und Neueinwanderung sowie im Hinblick auf den Erstsprachenunterricht kritisch beleuchtet.

Im folgenden Beitrag wird die Frage untersucht, inwieweit sich in den Niederlanden ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Entwicklung eines nationalen Selbstbewußtseins und dem Muttersprachenunterricht feststellen läßt. Anhand von geschichtswissenschaftlichen Studien wird im ersten Teil das Verhältnis zwischen der Entwicklung des Nationalbewußtseins und der Errichtung von nationalen Denkmälern erörtert. Im zweiten Teil beschreiben die Autoren die historische Entwicklung des niederländischen Muttersprachenunterrichts im 19. Jahrhundert und stellen das nationale Selbstverständnis anhand von Zitaten dar. Im letzten Teil ihres Beitrages gehen sie auf die heftigen Diskussionen um eine angebliche Abschaffung der niederländischen Sprache als Unterrichtssprache an der Universität ein, welche sich im Jahre 1992 aber als eine 'Zeitungsente' herausstellte.
