There is a connection between these two views. As the first ever non-Western language to be modernized, Japanese language modernizers needed to convince the West that Japanese was just as good a language as the national languages of the West. The result was a fervent desire for linguistic uniformity. Today the legacy of modernist language ideology poses many problems to an internationalizing Japan. All indigenous minority languages are heading towards extinction, and this purposefully created homogeneity also affects the integration of immigrants and their languages. This book examines these issues from the perspective of language ideology, and in doing so the mechanisms by which language ideology undermines linguistic diversity are revealed. 410 0$aMultilingual Matters 606 $aEnglish language -- Japan 606 $aJapan -- Languages 606 $aLanguage and culture -- Japan 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Study and teaching -- Japan 606 $aLanguage and languages -- Variation 606 $aLinguistics -- Study and teaching -- Japan 606 $aSecond language acquisition 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching$zJapan 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xVariation$zJapan 606 $aLinguistics$zJapan 606 $aEnglish language 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aEast Asian Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aPhilology & Linguistics$2HILCC 615 4$aEnglish language -- Japan. 615 4$aJapan -- Languages. 615 4$aLanguage and culture -- Japan. 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Study and teaching -- Japan. 615 4$aLanguage and languages -- Variation. 615 4$aLinguistics -- Study and teaching -- Japan. 615 4$aSecond language acquisition. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xVariation 615 0$aLinguistics 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aLanguage and culture 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aEast Asian Languages & Literatures 615 7$aPhilology & Linguistics 676 $a306.44/952 700 $aHeinrich$b Patrick, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0858726 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817464903321 996 $aTheMaking of Monolingual Japan$94073603 997 $aUNINA
