The group’s work is embedded into the Multilingual Manchester research unit which explores multilingual urban repertoires and their impact on the practices of individuals, communities and institutions, and seeks to raise awareness of language diversity through an ambitious programme of outreach and public engagement. Research will focus on the multilingual practices of the young generation Roma migrants originating from southeastern Romania, taking into account evidence of dialect formation through processes of dialect convergence, language use in social networks, the role of media and mobility and how language attitudes are negotiated with local institutions.
