This collection presents a holistic picture of the sociolinguistic
landscape in Bangladesh, offering a critical understanding of
language ideologies and social inequalities in the country and as
they connect more widely to dynamics in the Global South. The book
seeks to untangle the voices embedded in the language practices of
a range of communities and professions in the region, which have
been little studied in the literature, and encourage a rethinking
of the relationships between language and nationality, class,
ethnicity, race, and gender. Highlighting perspectives from
established and emerging researchers and drawing on a wide range of
theoretical approaches and methodologies, the volume is organized
around such key themes as bilingualism and diglossia; language
variation across domains; language and identity in literature; and
the interconnectedness of language, identity, and globalisation.
Taken together, the collection calls attention to the socially and
spatially situated nature of language practices in Bangladesh and
in turn, the ways in which scholars in the Global South make sense
of the sociolinguistic landscape at both the local and global
level. This book will appeal to scholars working in
sociolinguistics, particularly those working on language policy,
language and identity, language variation, and in or about the
Global South.
