Unknown Author

4.9/5 (19136 ratings)

Description:This volume seeks to add to our understanding of how language is constructed in late capitalist societies. Exploring the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the commodification of language and its relationship to the notion of linguistic capital, the authors examine recent research that offers implications for language policy and planning.Bringing together an international group of scholars, this collection includes chapters that address whether or not language can rightly be referred to as a commodity and, if so, under what circumstances. Understanding the different theoretical foundations of some phenomenon of the capitalization of language -- whether as commodity or capital -- has practical implications for policy writ large. The implications of the capitalization of language in more empirical terms are explored, both in terms of how it affects language as well as language policy at more micro levels. This includes more specific policy arenas such as language in education policy or family language policies as well as the implications for individual identity construction and linguistic communities.With a conclusion written by leading scholar David Block, this is key reading for researchers and advanced students of critical sociolinguistics, language and economy, language and politics, language policy and linguistic anthropology within linguistics, applied linguistics and language teacher education.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
