Language As Commodity: Global Structures, Local Marketplaces
Editat de Dr. Rani Rubdy, Peter Tanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2008
This volume engages with language policies and positions in relation to the roles and functions these languages adopt. It examines the 'value' of languages, defined in terms of the power they have in the global marketplace as much as within the complex matrices of the local socio-politics. These valuations strongly underpin the various motivations that influence policy-making decisions, and in turn, these motivations create the tensions that characterize many language-related issues; tensions that arise when languages become commodified.

Recenzii
Mention -Book News, February 2009
The link between discourse, globalization and language policies and practices is one that this book introduces us to in a comprehensive way, and it is hoped that more volumes on this area of research will be seen in the future
...every chapter challenges and informs our thinking and understanding of language planning and policy, language commodification, globalisation and neoliberalism and, inevitably, the imposition of English around the world.
An excellent source for case studies... and as a reference work for students and instructors in the social sciences. We will use it in our classes.
In the eyes of this reviewer, [Language as Commodity] certainly can be recommended to researchers and students interested in the linguistic dimensions of globalization both for the ample data it provides and the complementary fashion in which it deals with it.
