AbstractTranslingualism and translanguaging have emerged as important constructs in the study of language and communication. Ongoing efforts to make sense of translingualism and translanguaging can be partly attributed to the way the constructs present the use of multiple language resources and how such communicative practices reflect speakers from marginalized and minority communities. It is thus natural for World Englishes to contribute to such empirical and theoretical efforts, as world Englishes scholars are committed to understanding how English, along with other language resources, are used in a range of contexts and for varied communicative purposes. To this end, the present editorial introduction, along with the contributions to this special issue, explores the ways in which translingualism and translanguaging can be understood within the context of world Englishes scholarship.
