Its core arguments have shaped the discussion of language rights over the last decade. This new edition substantially revises and updates this provocative and groundbreaking book, addressing new theoretical and empirical developments since its initial publication, including the burgeoning influence of globalization and the relentless rise of English as the current world language. Stephen May's broad position, however, remains largely unchanged. He argues that the causes of many of the language-based conflicts in the world today still lie with the nation-state and its preoccupation with establishing a 'common' language and culture via mass education. The solution, he suggests, is to rethink nation-states in more culturally and linguistically plural ways while avoiding, at the same time, essentializing the language-identity link. This new edition, like the first, adopts a wide interdisciplinary framework, drawing on sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, sociology, political theory, education and law"--Provided by publisher.Language and languagesPolitical aspectsLinguistic minoritiesEthnicityNationalismSociolinguisticsLanguage and educationElectronic books.Language and languagesPolitical aspects.Linguistic minorities.Ethnicity.Nationalism.Sociolinguistics.Language and education.306.44/9306.449May Stephen1962-,594748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451727503321Language and minority rights994932UNINA
