As the colonial hegemony of empire fades around the world, the role
of language in ethnic conflict has become increasingly topical, as
have issues concerning the right of speakers to choose and use
their preferred language(s). Such rights are often asserted and
defended in response to their being violated. The importance of
understanding these events and issues, and their relationship to
individual, ethnic, and national identity, is central to research
and debate in a range of fields outside of, as well as within,
linguistics. This book provides a clearly written introduction for
linguists and non-specialists alike, presenting basic facts about
the role of language in the formation of identity and the
preservation of culture. It articulates and explores categories of
conflict and language rights abuses through detailed presentation
of illustrative case studies, and distills from these key
cross-linguistic and cross-cultural generalizations.
