This article engages with the theme of the proposed special issue in a perhaps unexpected way: for me, the ‘translinguistic movement’ is a pertinent reminder to move beyond the boundaries of language and other visible/audible modalities that are involved in semiosis.

2018 Settler colonialism speaks: Early contact varieties in Namibia during German colonial rule Language of Empire, Language of Power, Versteegh, Kees (ed.), pp. 91–111 | Article
In this article I explore a particular set of contact varieties that emerged in Namibia, a former German colony.

John Singler (2006) encourages linguists to consider speaker agency in the genesis of pidgin/creole languages.

This paper looks at language choice and use in South African SMS communication (texting) among bilingual (isiXhosa / English-speaking) users.
