It is organised around the theme of language and identity, in particular how language is used to construct national, international and personal identities. Contrary to popular stereotypes, Japanese is far from the only language used in Japan, and does not function in a vacuum, but comes with its own particular cultural implications. Language has played an important role in Japan's cultural and foreign policies, and language issues are intimately connected both with technological advance and with minority group experiences. Nanette Gottlieb is a leading authority in this field. This 2005 book builds on and develops her previous work, and promises to be essential reading for students, scholars, and all those wishing to understand the role played by language in Japanese society.Contemporary Japanese society.Language & Society in JapanJapanese languageSocial aspectsLanguage and cultureJapanJapanese languageSocial aspects.Language and culture306.44/0952Gottlieb Nanette1948-878652UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784445603321Language and society in Japan3675892UNINA
