Employing an approached informed by language ecology and linguistic
ethnography, Exploring Multilingual Hawai'i examines situated
language usage and underlying ideological beliefs to explore and
understand Hawai'i's multilingualism. The books begins with a
description of the ideologies that developed as a result of contact
with the west and then offers analyses that concentrate
specifically on the roles of Hawaiian, Pidgin, Japanese, the
languages of Micronesia, and also the occurrence of language mixing
in Hawaiian society. Finally, discussion of the analyses
underscores how continued exploration of language usage in Hawai'i
can contribute to our general understanding of multilingualism as a
dynamic phenomenon.
