The book examines the impact of English in countries in which it is taken for granted - Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and the USA. It explores how the dominance of English impacts on the development of national language policies, the maintenance of minority languages, the ability to provide services in other languages, the efforts to promote first language and bilingual education programs, and the opportunities for adult and child second language and literacy training.Language policyEnglish-speaking countriesLanguage and languagesPolitical aspectsEnglish languagePolitical aspectsElectronic books.Language policyLanguage and languagesPolitical aspects.English languagePolitical aspects.306.44/9/09175Eggington William987382Wren Helen987383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457539303321Language policy2256721UNINA00946nam a2200253 i 4500991003178039707536891101s1990 maua b 001 0 eng d0878932801b13035708-39ule_instDip.to Biologiaeng57022Molecular systematics /edited by David M.
