Abstract
This special issue of Multimodal Communication is devoted to seven papers studying social interaction at the intersection of multimodality, multilingualism and identity. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform to discuss how this intersection enables us to gain a better understanding of multimodal and multilingual practices in action as well as critically engaging with the current theories in the field that provide the lens for us to do so.
