Multilingualism: Understanding Linguistic Diversity de John Edwards

Multilingualism: Understanding Linguistic Diversity

Autor John Edwards
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 feb 2012
HOW DO LANGUAGES LIVE AND DIE?
WHAT ROLE DOES TRANSLATION PLAY IN HELPING LANGUAGES TO THRIVE?
ARE POLYGLOTS VIEWED WITH SUSPICION, GIVEN THE LINKS BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY?
IS THE MAINTENANCE AND REVIVAL OF FLAGGING LANGUAGES WORTH THE EFFORT?
CAN A LANGUAGE REMAIN 'PURE'?
IF LANGUAGE PATTERNS CONSTANTLY ALTER, WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT IDENTITY?

Multilingualism is everywhere in a globalized society. This book looks at the origins and development of languages, at language contact and competition, and at the emergence and the consequences of multilingualism.  Edwards also examines lingua francas, pidgins, creoles and artificial languages as a part of a broader snapshot of the social life of language.

This compelling short introduction is required reading for all entry-level students of multilingualism, and a primer for language lovers in general.

Recenzii

'John Edwards has written a book about everything that happens when languages meet, a book about 'the social life of language'. With his encyclopaedic knowledge he composed a small but complete encyclopedia of multilingualism that has an intriguing fact or an original insight on every page. Before readers realize that the subject-matter is complicated, they have already understood it, since Edwards wears his knowledge lightly and writes with apparent ease. A book for everyone who has to cope with diverse languages, that is, according to this book, nearly everyone.'

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
By looking at the effect of language difference, Edwards examines the interaction of language with nationalism, politics, history, identity and education. This book unpicks this complexity and creates a multidisciplinary overview.
