Taking off from the apt epigram that "... language, after all, is a
purely historical phenomenon", these sociolinguistic analyses
present debates over how language ideologies are formed,
articulated, and entextualized. The editor's opening and final
essays entitled "the debate is open" and "the debate is closed"
bookend ten debates relating to language, identity, and political
power: French-into-Corsican translations, dialect in Switzerland,
Catalan vs. Spanish in Barcelona since the 1992 Olympics, Canada's
linguistic cultures, bilingual education in the US, Ebonics,
Singapore's "Speak Mandarin' campaign, the revival status of
Israeli Hebrew, and European tongues and literary genres in
postcolonial Africa.
