Conclusion
摘要
This concluding chapter features the volume’s takeaways, implications for language and globalization research beyond Catalonia, and directions for future research. Takeaways highlight lessons about language and globalization learned from (a) diverse documentary records from Gen ’95ers’ early years and (b) Gen ’95ers’ longitudinal linguistic practices and ideologies toward Catalan and Spanish language, identity, and nationalism. Implications focus on (a) language’s role in globalization processes, (b) conditions, processes, and products of globalization that may occasion extraordinary circumstances and correspondingly unique ways of speaking, and (c) sociocultural factors behind the development of linguistic patterns in globalizing contexts. Directions for future language and globalization research emphasize the benefits of interdisciplinary language documentary approaches to studying mobile languaging resources that may reveal insider understandings of dynamic meaning-making.
