在当前的全球化时代，额外的语言(L2)学习为人们提供了发展和创造新身份的机会，这些身份不再一定要与传统上定义的民族语言、民族或文化身份相联系。相反，根据将杂合作为新千年全球化的核心特征的全球化理论(Nederveen Pieterse，2009)，本卷的贡献致力于记录个人如何在全球化的人、思想和技术的流动所带来的文化变化和新的身份区域的背景下学习和使用更多的语言。虽然二语认同的主题已经被应用语言学的研究者探索了十多年(例如，Block 2007；Miller 2003；Norton[Peirce]1995,2000；Pavlenko and Blackledge 2004；Toohe1998)，但本书特别旨在探索二语认同建构如何与学习者参与当代全球化趋势以及他们作为日益跨全球、跨文化的个体的经历有关。虽然全球化已经伴随我们几个世纪了，但本书探讨了在新千年的背景下二语用户的身份建构，这是全球化的一个阶段，“需要彻底扰乱社会生活的边界”(Chouliaraki和Fairclough 1999：83)，其特点是图像和符号的跨国界移动的加剧和全球职权范围的日益重要(Castells 2000；Hold等人)。1999年；2001年春季)。物质产品的交换是许多关于全球化的学术讨论的特点，但包括语言在内的象征性文化形式的普遍交流才是新千年全球化的标志。这本书的贡献表明，世界的变化，如跨国界人口流动的增加，流行文化的全球共享形式，以及互联网提供的新识字实践的发展，需要新的方法来对身份形成与语言的关系进行理论化
Additional language (L2) learning in the current, globalizing era provides opportunities for people to develop and enact new identities that are no longer necessarily tied to traditionally defi ned ethnolinguistic, national, or cultural identities. Instead, and in line with theories of globalization that place hybridity as a central feature of new millennium globalization (Nederveen Pieterse 2009), the contributions in this volume strive to document how individuals learn and use additional languages in the contexts of cultural mélange and new identity zones afforded by globalizing fl ows of people, ideas, and technology. While the topic of L2 identity has been explored by researchers in applied linguistics for more than a decade now (e.g., Block 2007; Miller 2003; Norton [Peirce] 1995, 2000; Pavlenko and Blackledge 2004; Toohey 1998), this volume specifi cally aims to explore how L2 identity construction relates to learners’ engagements with contemporary trends in globalization and their experiences as increasingly transglobal, transcultural individuals. While globalization has been with us for centuries, this book explores L2 users’ identity construction within the context of the new millennium , a phase of globalization that “entails a radical unsettling of the boundaries of social life” (Chouliaraki and Fairclough 1999: 83) and which is characterized by the intensifying movement of images and symbols across borders and the increasing importance of global terms of reference (Castells 2000; Held et al. 1999; Spring 2001). The exchange of material goods has characterized many scholarly discussions on globalization, but it is the prevalent exchange of symbolic cultural forms, including language, that is the hallmark of new millennium globalization. The contributions in this volume show that changes in the world such as increased movements of people across borders, globally shared forms of popular culture, and the development of new literacy practices afforded by the Internet require new ways of theorizing identity formation vis-à-vis language
