Drawing on sociolinguistic approaches, this book presents unique
insights into a Japanese ethnic church community in Canada and the
ways in which churches mediate issues of linguistic, cultural, and
religious hybridity in addressing the needs of their diverse
populations. The book integrates discourse analytic methods with
ethnographic perspectives to explore the complex dynamics of
negotiating their different members' preferred language practices.
The volume outlines the ways in which ethnic churches in this
community build themselves around intentionally preferred Japanese
language practices but make accommodations for English-language
speakers in their own families, in turn making further
accommodations for ESL student speakers new to the country. Barrett
explores the impact of church members' transcultural experiences in
broader decisions around language planning and policy in these
churches, shedding light on the distinct implications of hybrid
identities on discourses in localized communities. // The volume
will be of interest to scholars in sociolinguistics, applied
linguistics, and religious studies.
