Langauge and Discrimination provides a unique and authoritative
study of the linguistic dimension of racial discrimination. Based
upon extensive work carried out over many years by the Industrial
Language Training Service in the U.K, this illuminating analysis
argues that a real understanding of how language functions as a
means of indirect racial discrimination must be founded on an
expanded view of language which recognises the inseparability of
language, culture and meaning. After initially introducing the
subject matter of the book and providing an overview of
discrimination and language learning, the authors examine the
relationship between theory and practice in four main areas:
theories of interaction and their application; ethnographic and
linguistic analysis of workplace settings; training in
communication for white professionals; and language training for
adult bilingual workers and job-seekers. Detailed case studies
illustrate how theory can be turned into practice if appropriate
information, research, development and training and co-ordinated in
an integrated response to issues of multi-ethnic communication,
discrimination and social justice.
