Presented text is a review of the book The Many Faces of Multilingualism. Language Status, Learning and Use Across Contexts, edited by Piotr Romanowski and Martin Guardado. Discussed book undertakes the issues of multilingualism, one of the most vivid phenomenon in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics recently. The volume consisting of 11 chapters, is divided in two parts: ‘(Socio) Linguistic Aspects of Multilingualism’ and ‘Pedagogical Aspects of Multilingualism’. The contributors (all multilingual), coming from different countries (e.g. Poland, Latvia, Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Africa), focuse on specific questions related to multilingual education and analyze challenges of the multilingual society.

Fluid Interpretation

Drawing on the linguistic landscape material of modified road traffic signs in different areas of South Africa, the article illustrates how modified traffic road signs continue to have situated contextual meanings regardless of altered physical placement or content. Drawing on semiotic repurposing this article argues for an extended definition of situated semiotics that takes into account repurposed signs. A fluid interpretation of ‘situatedness' will broaden the scope of what is perceived as situated semiotics and discourage the use of delinquent categories such as ‘transgressive' semiotics for ‘out of place' semiotics.
