Abstract "This book offers an introduction to the practice of using language when referential (semantic) meaning is problematic, partial or even absent. The concept and term 'ultralingualism' accounts for language performance or use where meaning in the conventional sense lies elsewhere to, or beyond (ultra-), the performer and/or the listener/audience. The author presents a range of contexts where ultralingualism can be found including in religious, musical, multilingual literacy, academic, artistic/creative (including popular music) and language revival settings. He shares multifaceted data that illustrate how and why ultralingualism manifests itself in diverse contexts and argues that despite the absence of referential meaning, meaning-making still occurs"-- Provided by publisher.
