Linguistic Culture and Language Policy
Author: Harold F. Schiffman
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 0415128757
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
By looking closely at the multilingual democracies of India, France and the USA, Harold F. Schiffman examines how language policy is primarily a social construct based on belief systems, attitudes and myths. Linguistic Culture and Language Policy exposes language policy as culture-specific, helping us to understand why language policies evolve the way they do; why they work, or not; and how people's lives are affected by them. These issues will be of specific interest to linguists specialising in multilingual/multicultural societies, bilingual educationalists, curriculum planners and teachers.

Culture in the Plural
Author: Michel de Certeau
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816627677
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
From the late Michel de Certeau comes an essential engagement with multiculturalism and identity politics. De Certeau stresses that anyone attempting to understand contemporary societies in the West must grasp the already-existing diversity that outflanks elitist conceptions of the "national group". He argues compellingly that old ideas of social unity have no relevance in the diverse societies of today.

Us and Others
Author: Anna Duszak
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027297363
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
It is natural for people to make the distinction between in-group (Us) and out-group members (Others). What is it that brings people together, or keeps them apart? Ethnicity, nationality, professional expertise or life style? And, above all, what is the role of language in communicating solidarity and detachment? The papers in this volume look at the various cognitive, social, and linguistic aspects of how social identities are constructed, foregrounded and redefined in interaction. Concepts and methodologies are taken from studies in language variation and change, multilingualism, conversation analysis, genre analysis, sociolinguistics, critical discourse analysis, as well as translation studies and applied linguistics. A wide range of languages is brought into focus in a variety of situational, social and discursive environments. The book is addressed to scholars and students of linguistics and related areas of social communication studies.

Human Rights and Diversity: New Challenges for Plural Societies
Author: Eduardo J. Ruiz Vieytez
Publisher: Universidad de Deusto
ISBN: 8498307929
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
The democratic management of cultural diversity is the greatest political challenge for present-day European societies. The plural character of our societies forces us to rethink the basic political concepts, starting off from a new idea of inclusive and plural d¬emocracy. The application of human rights must be reconsidered in the light of presentday reality so that democratic states are able to guarantee the benefi t of these rights to all persons through their identity and not in spite of it, thus creating political spaces that are open to a multi-identity coexistence.
