Language, Borders and Bordering Practices / Lenguaje, Fronteras Y Pr獺cticas de Fronterizaci籀n
Las fronteras no son solo l穩neas f穩sicas en un mapa, sino divisiones y procesos sociales y simb籀licos que se configuran continuamente a trav矇s del lenguaje y la interacci籀n cotidiana. Este volumen biling羹e desaf穩a las nociones est獺ticas y binarias de las fronteras, revelando c籀mo se construyen y se mantienen, pero tambi矇n se desaf穩an y se reinventan mediante pr獺cticas comunicativas concretas. Desde diversas perspectivas te籀ricas y metodol籀gicas, los y las autoras analizan fronteras nacionales, transnacionales, simb籀licas y de g矇nero en Europa, ?frica y las Am矇ricas, abordando cuestiones de urgente actualidad como la migraci籀n, la identidad, el racismo, la discriminaci籀n de g矇nero y otras formas de exclusi籀n mediadas por el lenguaje. El volumen ofrece claves cr穩ticas para comprender c籀mo el lenguaje moldea las fronteras de nuestro mundo: una contribuci籀n que invita a reflexionar sobre las formas sutiles y manifiestas en que el lenguaje participa en la (de)construcci籀n de las divisiones sociales. Borders are not just physical lines on a map--they are social and symbolic divisions and processes continuously shaped through language and everyday interaction. This bilingual volume challenges static, binary notions of borders, revealing how they are constructed and maintained, but also resisted and reimagined through specific communicative practices.

This volume offers critical insights into how language shapes the borders of our contemporary world: a thought-provoking contribution that invites readers to critically engage with the subtle and overt ways language participates in the (un)making of social divides.

Changing the Topic: An Interactional Linguistics Analysis of Topic Flow in English Conversation
The Bookability Formula
Why do some speakers get booked again and again, while most struggle to land even one paid gig? What makes one speaker the industry go-to, while everyone else is overlooked, no matter how good they are on stage? Why do some speakers effortlessly attract repeat bookings, referrals and high fees, while others don't? Can you really be more in demand, more respected, and more booked without being famous or a celebrity? The answer is YES! This book reveals what the top 1% most-booked speakers do differently - and how you can do it too. In The Bookability Formula, former international speaker bureau owner, Maria Franzoni sets out to answer the question: does Richard Koch's 80/20 Principle apply to speakers too? She analysed years of speaker bureau data and what she found was striking: just 1% of her roster generated 80% of bookings and over half the revenue. Determined to uncover what set the 1% apart, Maria developed the Bookability Formula - a clear, proven framework for any speaker who wants to become commercially and consistently bookable. Packed with insider insights, real examples and tools you can use straight away, this is the book for speakers who want to stop guessing and start getting booked.
