Vernacular Literacy for What? -- IndexIn this major new text, Joshua Fishman charts the rise of vernacular literacy in Europe, and the major social, economic, religious, political, demographic, educational and philosophical changes that attended it. Following the story up until the present day, the book examines the people who became leaders of the growth of vernacular literacy in Europe, and looks at how European colonizers viewed vernacular literacy efforts in their current and former colonies. Looking forward, Fishman discusses how new technology affects vernacular literacy both now and in the present, and whether developments in voice and visual media mean that vernacular literacy will be less important to future generations than it is to us. ‘European Vernacular Literacy’ is not only a review of well-known facts and theories of the rise of vernacular literacy in Europe, but an attempt to reintegrate and rethink them along new and provocative lines, meaning that the book will be of interest not only to students of literacy and history but also to scholars interested in Fishman’s latest contribution to sociolinguistics.New Perspectives on Language and EducationEnglish language -- Study and teaching -- EuropeEnglish language -- Variation -- EuropeLanguages in contactLinguistic changeEnglish languageVariationEuropeEnglish languageStudy and teachingEuropeLanguages in contactLinguistic changeEnglishHILCCEducationHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCEnglish LanguageHILCCEducation, Special TopicsHILCCEurope.Joshua Fishman.colonialism.language education.sociolinguistics.technology.vernacular literacy.English language -- Study and teaching -- Europe.English language -- Variation -- Europe.Languages in contact.Linguistic change.English languageVariationEnglish languageStudy and teachingLanguages in contactLinguistic changeEnglishEducationLanguages & LiteraturesSocial SciencesEnglish LanguageEducation, Special Topics306.44089Fishman Joshua A, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut127036DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910791885403321European Vernacular Literacy3706666UNINA
