This volume brings together researchers whose analysis and insights
provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of Singapore's rich
linguistic diversity. Applying a combination of descriptive,
empirical, and theoretical approaches, the authors investigate not
only official languages such as English, Mandarin, Malay, and
Tamil, but also minority languages such as the Chinese vernaculars
and South Asian and Austronesian languages. The chapters in this
volume trace the historical development, contemporary status, and
functions of these languages, as well as potential scenarios for
the future. Exploring the tension between language policies and
linguistic realities in Singapore, the contributions in this volume
capture the shifting educational, political, and societal
priorities of the community through its past and contemporary
present.
