Language and the City: Language and Globalization

Autor Kenneth A. Loparo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iun 2007
This book shows the effects of globalization on language in social context, identifying the city as the key site for the realization of these effects. It challenges assumptions that hold sustainable linguistic diversity to be inherently non-urban while regarding the city as an unproblematic site for understanding the social function of language.
