Winner of the 2018 Book Award awarded by the American Association
for Applied Linguistics The Invention of Monolingualism harnesses
literary studies, applied linguisitics, translation studies, and
cultural studies to offer a groundbreaking investigation of
monolingualism. After briefly describing what "monolingual" means
in scholarship and public discourse, and the pejorative effects
this common use may have on non-elite and cosmopolitan populations
alike, David Gramling sets out to discover a new conception of
monolingualism. Along the way, he explores how writers-Turkish,
Latin-American, German, and English-language-have in recent decades
confronted monolingualism in their texts, and how they have
critiqued the World Literature industry's increasing hunger for
"translatable" novels.
