It tackles the very real problem of language prejudice and offers solutions to dealing with this problem. Dr. Reagan has spent his entire career debunking misconceptions about the ?value? of one language or one dialect over another and consolidates his findings here with reference to a substantial body of previous research covering a wide variety of languages.? ?Frank Nuessel, University of Louisville, USA This book examines the nature of human language and the ideology of linguistic legitimacy ? the common set of beliefs about language differences that leads to the rejection of some language varieties and the valorization of others. It investigates a broad range of case studies of languages and dialects which have for various reasons been considered 'low-status' including: African American English, Spanglish, American Sign Language, Yiddish, Esperanto and other constructed languages, indigenous languages in post-colonial neo-European societies, and Afrikaans and related language issues in South Africa. Further, it discusses the implications of the ideology of linguistic legitimacy for the teaching and learning of foreign languages in the US. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book provides a readable and pedagogically useful tool to help readers comprehend the nature of human language, and the ways in which attitudes about human language can have either positive or negative consequences for communities and their languages. It will be of particular interest to language teachers and teacher educators, as well as students and scholars of applied linguistics, intercultural communication, minority languages and language extinction. Timothy Reagan is the Dean of the College of Education and Human Development and Professor of Linguistics at The University of Maine, USA. . 606 $aApplied linguistics 606 $aLanguage policy 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aIntercultural communication 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aApplied Linguistics 606 $aLanguage Policy and Planning 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aIntercultural Communication 606 $aSemiotics 615 0$aApplied linguistics. 615 0$aLanguage policy. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 14$aApplied Linguistics. 615 24$aLanguage Policy and Planning. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aIntercultural Communication. 615 24$aSemiotics. 676 $a306.44072 676 $a306.44 700 $aReagan$b Timothy G.$01646808 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bYDX 801 2$bCDX 801 2$bCBY 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGUA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bCaOWtU 912 $a9910337712503321 996 $aLinguistic legitimacy and social justice$94107970 997 $aUNINA
