Language Choice in a Nation under Transition charts the spread of
English into Cambodia and the French efforts to contest this spread
in favor of their own language through an analysis of the country's
recent history. This book proposes a synthesis of the
national-functional and international-critical perspectives. This
synthesis emerges from the Cambodian experience and thus adheres to
Joshua Fishman's admonition that theory reflect the sharp bite of
local detail and unique historical experience.
