On the one hand, poverty affects language survival; in modern times the fundamental determinants of language shift and language death are economic. On the other hand, the languages people speak, or don?t speak, can influence their economic status in substantial ways, limiting or facilitating access to jobs and education and full participation in the functions of the society. The issues encompassed by the twin themes of the volume have assumed growing significance in an era of increasing globalization and accelerating change in economies, technologies and traditional social structures. They are of practical concern to people in a wide range of disciplines and professions, including politicians, educators, social workers, language planners, and others who work and live in multilingual contexts. 606 $aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects 606 $aLanguage maintenance 606 $aPoverty 606 $aSociolinguistics 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aLanguage maintenance. 615 0$aPoverty. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 676 $a306.44 686 $aES 110$2rvk 701 $aHarbert$b Wayne$01647635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828524803321 996 $aLanguage and poverty$93995328 997 $aUNINA
