Hardcover. Las fronteras no son solo lineas fisicas en un mapa, sino divisiones y procesos sociales y simbolicos que se configuran continuamente a traves del lenguaje y la interaccion cotidiana. Este volumen bilinguee desafia las nociones estaticas y binarias de las fronteras, revelando como se construyen y se mantienen, pero tambien se desafian y se reinventan mediante practicas comunicativas concretas. Desde diversas perspectivas teoricas y metodologicas, los y las autoras analizan fronteras nacionales, transnacionales, simbolicas y de genero en Europa, Africa y las Americas, abordando cuestiones de urgente actualidad como la migracion, la identidad, el racismo, la discriminacion de genero y otras formas de exclusion mediadas por el lenguaje. El volumen ofrece claves criticas para comprender como el lenguaje moldea las fronteras de nuestro mundo: una contribucion que invita a reflexionar sobre las formas sutiles y manifiestas en que el lenguaje participa en la (de)construccion de las divisiones sociales. Borders are not just physical lines on a mapthey are social and symbolic divisions and processes continuously shaped through language and everyday interaction.

This volume offers 16 studies that address borders and boundaries in sociolinguistics-broadly understood as the discipline that investigates (and advocates for) the intersection between language and society.
