Authority in Language explores the perennially topical and
controversial notion of correct and incorrect language. James and
Lesley Milroy cover the long-running debate over the teaching of
Standard English in Britain and compare the language ideologies in
Britain and the USA, involving a discussion of the English-Only
movement and the Ebonics controversy. They consider the historical
process of standardisation and its social consequences, in
particular discrimination against low-status and ethnic minority
groups on the basis of their language traits. This Routledge
Linguistics Classic is here reissued with a new foreword and a new
afterword in which the authors broaden their earlier concept of
language ideology. Authority in Language is indispensable reading
for educationalists, teachers and linguists and a long-standing
text for courses in sociolinguistics, modern English grammar,
history of English and language ideology.
