HANDBOOK OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION DIVERSIT...

In line with the overall perspective of the Handbook series  the focus of Vol.9 is on
language-related problems arising in the context of linguistic diversity and change  and the
contributions Applied Linguistics can offer for solutions. Part I  Language minorities and
inequality  presents situations of language contact and linguistic diversity as world-wide
phenomena. The focus is on indigenous and immigrant linguistic minorities  their (lack of)
access to linguistic rights through language policies and the impact on their linguistic future
.Part II Language planning and language change  focuses on the impact of colonialism 
imperialism  globalisation and economics as factors that language policies and planning
measures must account for in responding to problems deriving from language contact and
linguistic diversity. Part III  Language variation and change in institutional contexts 
examines language-related problems in selected institutional areas of communication (education
the law  religion  science  the Internet) which will often derive from socioeconomic  cultural
and other non-linguistic asymmetries. Part IV  The discourse of linguistic diversity and
language change  analyses linguistic diversity  language change and language reform as issues
of public debates which are informed by different ideological positions  values and attitudes
(e.g. with reference to sexism  racism  and political correctness).The volume also contains
extensive reference sections and index material.
