This book presents the findings of an in-depth qualitative
longitudinal investigation into the willingness to communicate (WTC)
of individuals who, through varying migration channels, left one
cultural/linguistic context to make a new life in another. It examines
communication behaviours and language choice in multilingual community
contexts and emphasises how even the most trivial of communication
events are embedded in histories of previous communication and are
influenced by emotions connected with a person’s overall life
situation. The book fills a gap in contemporary WTC research by
examining how WTC operates in multilingual community contexts. Through
the use of a complexity lens and the presentation of a revised 3D
pyramid model, the authors demonstrate the dynamic nature of WTC and
shed new light on processes that affect communication, migration and
well-being. This book will be of interest to researchers seeking to
explore individual differences using context sensitive and temporally
focused designs. This book is open access under a CC BY ND licence.
