Its core arguments have shaped the discussion of language rights over the last decade. This new edition substantially revises and updates this provocative and groundbreaking book, addressing new theoretical and empirical developments since its initial publication, including the burgeoning influence of globalization and the relentless rise of English as the current world language. Stephen May's broad position, however, remains largely unchanged. He argues that the causes of many of the language-based conflicts in the world today still lie with the nation-state and its preoccupation with establishing a 'common' language and culture via mass education. The solution, he suggests, is to rethink nation-states in more culturally and linguistically plural ways while avoiding, at the same time, essentializing the language-identity link. This new edition, like the first, adopts a wide interdisciplinary framework, drawing on sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, sociology, political theory, education and law"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects 606 $aLinguistic minorities 606 $aEthnicity 606 $aNationalism 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aLanguage and education 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aLinguistic minorities. 615 0$aEthnicity. 615 0$aNationalism. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and education. 676 $a306.44/9 676 $a306.449 700 $aMay$b Stephen$f1962-,$0594748 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451727503321 996 $aLanguage and minority rights$9994932 997 $aUNINA
