Description: This book brings together a group of leading scholars to critically assess a recent proposal within translanguaging theory called deconstructivism: the view that discrete or 'named' languages do not exist. The authors converge on a multilingual perspective on translanguaging which affirms the aims of translanguaging but rejects deconstructivism.
