Abstract

Abstract In this commentary we respond to the articles of this special issue focusing on the proposal for a sociolinguistics of diaspora. We discuss especially whether diaspora as conceptualized in the articles helps sociolinguists better understand the intersection of migration, globalization, and language. Central to our comments is the question of whether the concept of diaspora is operationalized clearly enough to do the metalinguistic job it is invoked to do.
