As the authors demonstrate, the South African context offers a treasure trove of data and examples for linguistic and sociolinguistic study. The book surveys the most important language groupings in the region in terms of pre-colonial and colonial history; contact between the different language varieties, leading to language loss, pidginization, creolization and new mixed varieties; language and public policy issues associated with the transition to a post-apartheid society and its eleven official languages. It details the history of indigenous languages, the impact of European languages upon them, and of transformations to the European languages themselves. Written by a team of leading researchers, all the chapters are informed by the importance of socio-political history in understanding questions of language. The book will be welcomed by students and researchers in language and linguistics, sociology, anthropology and social history. 606 $aSociolinguistics$zSouth Africa 606 $aLanguage and culture$zSouth Africa 606 $aLanguage policy$zSouth Africa 606 $aLanguage planning$zSouth Africa 607 $aSouth Africa$xLanguages 615 0$aSociolinguistics 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 0$aLanguage policy 615 0$aLanguage planning 676 $a306.44/0968 702 $aMesthrie$b Rajend 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783052403321 996 $aLanguage in South Africa$93805246 997 $aUNINA
