As the world becomes more globalized, this trend increases. It affects the decision-making of those in positions of power and determines macro language policies and planning. Often decisions about language (or dialects or language variety) are related to usefulness - defined in terms of their pragmatic and commercial currency or their value as symbols of socio-cultural identity. Languages can be modes of entry into coveted social hierarchies or strongholds of religious, historical, technological and political power 606 $aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects 606 $aLanguage and culture 606 $aLanguage spread 606 $aCommunication, International 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 615 0$aLanguage spread. 615 0$aCommunication, International. 676 $a306.44 701 $aRubdy$b Rani$01539299 701 $aTan$b Peter K.

Based on four years of field work with both the adolescent members and staff of an inner-city youth organization in a large Midwestern city, Pride in the Projects examines the construction of identity as it oc 410 0$aQualitative studies in psychology. 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in adolescence$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aUrban youth$zUnited States$xPsychology$vCase studies 606 $aYouth with social disabilities$zUnited States$xPsychology$vCase studies 606 $aInterpersonal relations$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAfter-school programs$zUnited States 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in adolescence 615 0$aUrban youth$xPsychology 615 0$aYouth with social disabilities$xPsychology 615 0$aInterpersonal relations 615 0$aAfter-school programs 676 $a155.5/1825 700 $aDeutsch$b Nancy L$01703853 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823753703321 996 $aPride in the projects$94089384 997 $aUNINA
