Thurlow, Crispin – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2019
In the way of commentary, I offer a brief, summative reflection on the complex, multifarious nature of people's semiotic engagements in and with space.

Von Holzen, Katie; van Ommen, Sandrien; White, Katherine S.; Nazzi, Thierry – Language Learning and Development, 2023
