Abstract

What is the future of languages in an increasingly globalized world? Are we moving toward the use of a single language for global communication, or are there ways of managing language diversity at the international level? Can we, or should we, maintain a balance between the global need to communicate and the maintenance of local and regional identities and cultures? What is the role of education, of language rights, of language equality in this volatile global linguistic mix? A group of leading scholars in sociolinguistics and language policy examines trends in language use across the world to find answers to these questions and to make predictions about likely outcomes. Highlighted in the discussion are, among other issues, the rapidly changing role of English, the equally rapid decline and death of small languages, the future of the major European languages, the international use of constructed languages like Esperanto, and, not least, the question of what role applied scholarship can and should play in mapping and influencing the future.

Abstract

The complex politics of English as a world language provides the backdrop both for linguistic studies of varieties of English around the world and for postcolonial literary criticism. The present volume offers contributions from linguists and literary scholars that explore this common ground in a spirit of open interdisciplinary dialogue. Leading authorities assess the state of the art to suggest directions for further research, with substantial case studies ranging over a wide variety of topics - from the legitimacy of language norms of lingua franca communication to the recognition of newer post-colonial varieties of English in the online OED. Four regional sections treat the Caribbean (including the diaspora), Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Australasia and the Pacific Rim. Each section maintains a careful balance between linguistics and literature, and external and indigenous perspectives on issues. The book is the most balanced, complete and up-to-date treatment of the topic to date.

Abstract

Anglais intensif, immersion, bains linguistiques : que retenir de cette incessante discussion sur l'enseignement de l'anglais au Québec ? Décrit tantôt comme la langue de lord Durham, langue qui opprime et menace, tantôt comme l'outil du xxie siècle ou de l'ouverture au monde, l'anglais fait débat. Pour y voir clair, Virginie Hébert remonte le fil des discours tenus sur l'enseignement de l'anglais au Québec depuis plus d'un siècle. Dépouillant journaux, débats parlementaires, communiqués et rapports, elle trace la genèse des mythes et décrit avec brio les façons dont nous cadrons aujourd'hui nos prises de position pour les rendre légitimes. Chemin faisant, l'autrice montre pourquoi la discussion publique sur l'enseignement de l'anglais est le terrain d'une lutte hautement significative pour l'avenir du Québec.

Abstract

English-Only Europe? explores the role of languages in the process of European integration.Languages are central to the development of an integrated Europe. The way in which the European Union deals with multilingualism has serious implications for both individual member countries and international relations.In this book, Robert Phillipson considers whether the contemporary expansion of English represents a serious threat to other European languages. After exploring the implications of current policies, Phillipson argues the case for more active language policies to safeguard a multilingual Eu
