"Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World" is the winner of
the BAAL Book Prize 2005.
"Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World: Pedigree of
Nations" explores the consequences of English as a global language
and multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written accessibly, it
explores the extent of diversity in 'inner circle' English speaking
countries (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand) and examines language in the home, school, and the wider
community.
Considers the perspectives of English as a global language as well
as multilingualism as a social phenomenon.
Written in an accessible style that draws on contemporary real life
examples.
Examines the everyday realities of people living in 'inner circle'
English-speaking countries, such as the UK, USA, Canada, South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Discusses the theoretical issues that underpin current debates,
drawing on research literature on societal multilingualism,
language maintenance and shift, language policy, language and
power, and language and identity.
