This unique contribution to the field of sociolinguistics scrutinises language ideologies in a globalised world. Using ethnographic methodology and a deconstructive approach to language it examines German and Australian Communities of Practice constituted by Salsa dance, and asks what languages symbolise in transnational, non-ethnic cultures.
