Answer to Question #216623 in English for Ramorwane Sebapu

Question

Explain what is meant by translationalism and justify its role and influence in reading comprehension

Answer 1

Transnationalism refers to diffusion and extension of political, economic and political processes in between and beyond the sovereign boundaries of states.

Its role is to connect people and communities across borders and also to bring social, political, cultural and economic change to societies.

Its influence in comprehension is that through its fields in social and sociolinguistic studies of language, it informs and extends the field of literacy research. It influences discussions on how language is inter-wined with issues of mobility and cross-border relations.
