Language Diversity in the Sinophone World offers interdisciplinary
insights into social, cultural, and linguistic aspects of
multilingualism in the Sinophone world, highlighting language
diversity and opening up the burgeoning field of Sinophone studies
to new perspectives from sociolinguistics. The book begins by
charting historical trajectories in Sinophone multilingualism,
beginning with late imperial China through to the emergence of
English in the mid-19th century. The volume uses this foundation as
a jumping off point from which to provide an in-depth comparison of
modern language planning and policies throughout the Sinophone
world, with the final section examining multilingual practices not
readily captured by planning frameworks and the ideologies,
identities, repertoires, and competences intertwined within these
different multilingual configurations. Taken together, the
collection makes a unique sociolinguistic-focused intervention into
emerging research in Sinophone studies and will be of interest to
students and scholars within the discipline.
