Language in a Globalised World
Social Justice Perspectives on Mobility and Contact
Overview
This book takes a critical look at the role of language in an increasingly diversified and globalised world, using the new framework of sociolinguistics of globalisation to draw together research from human geography, sociolinguistics, and intercultural communication.
Main Arguments
It argues that globalisation has resulted in a destabilisation of social and linguistic norms, and presents a ‘language-in-motion’ approach which addresses the inequalities and new social divisions brought by the unprecedented levels of population mobility.
Target Audience
This book looks at language on the individual, national and transnational level, and it will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in history, politics, human geography, sociolinguistics and minority languages.
