Local beauty contests provide women opportunities to demonstrate talent, style, the values of black womanhood, and the territory's social mores. Queen of the Virgins: Pageantry and Black Womanhood in the Caribbean is a comprehensive look at the centuries-old tradition of these expressions in the Virgin Islands. M.

European Multilingualism: Political Scope -- 2. European Multilingualism as a Field of Research -- 3. The LINEE Project -- 4. European Multilingualism Beyond LINEE -- Conclusion -- References -- AppendixThis book provides a broad sociolinguistic perspective on major questions of political and cultural Europeanization. It is concerned with European multilingualism as it actually results from the intersecting endeavour of policy making and scientific research. This volume argues that the EU must overcome the major discrepancies of its linguistic diversity politics by developing into a multiple inclusive society beyond the nation-state in order to seriously unfold European multilingualism as a political goal. Expanding on the theoretical and methodological approaches developed within the EU project LINEE (Languages in a Network of European Excellence), this book further focuses on the LINEE key variables of European multilingualism i.e. 'culture', 'discourse', 'identity', 'ideology', 'knowledge', 'LPP', 'multi-competence', and 'power & conflict'. Against this background, this study argues for reconceptualising European multilingualism on the basis of an integrative and multi-focal approach.Second language acquisition (Clevedon, England) ;147.MultilingualismEuropeLinguistic minoritiesEuropeLanguage policyEuropeSecond language acquisitionEuropeElectronic books.MultilingualismLinguistic minoritiesLanguage policySecond language acquisition306.44/6094306.446094404.2094Rindler Schjerve Rosita, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut157722Vetter Eva, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910452575503321European Multilingualism2456666UNINA
