This book builds on recent research exploring the intersection
between language and social justice, using the multilingual context
of Hawai'i as a case study. The author offers a discourse-centered
approach, providing analyses of actual instances of language use,
and argues that the wide range of languages in Hawai'i - Hawaiian,
Pidgin, Japanese, Chinese, Tagalog, Ilocano, Marshallese, and
Chuukese, as well as the phenomenon of language mixing - all have a
significant contribution to make to society. The book also draws on
language acquisition research demonstrating positive long-term
effects of exposure to multiple languages, and makes the case for
educational approaches that foster multilingual abilities among the
young members of society. This book will be relevant for academics
interested in the intersection of language and social justice and
languages in Hawai'i, but it should also be of interest to
undergraduate and especially graduate students in sociolinguistics,
language revitalization and language documentation, discourse
analysis, applied linguistics, and pragmatics.
