超级多样性使熟悉的地方、群体和做法变得异常复杂，传统的分析工具需要重新思考。在这本书中，扬·布隆马特从复杂性的角度调查了他在比利时安特卫普的邻居。他运用创新的语言景观设计方法，展示了多语言符号如何被解读为记录一个地方复杂历史的编年史。这本书可以通过多种方式阅读：作为对语言景观研究的理论和方法论贡献;作为解决超多样性社会语言学的第一部专著之一;或者作为通过使用混沌和复杂性理论作为理解当代社会生活结构的灵感对社会科学的一些基本假设的修订。
Superdiversity has rendered familiar places, groups and practices extraordinarily complex, and the traditional tools of analysis need rethinking. In this book, Jan Blommaert investigates his own neighbourhood in Antwerp, Belgium, from a complexity perspective. Using an innovative approach to linguistic landscaping, he demonstrates how multilingual signs can be read as chronicles documenting the complex histories of a place. The book can be read in many ways: as a theoretical and methodological contribution to the study of linguistic landscape; as one of the first monographs which addresses the sociolinguistics of superdiversity; or as a revision of some of the fundamental assumptions of social science through the use of chaos and complexity theory as an inspiration for understanding the structures of contemporary social life.
