Languages in a Globalising World Book

Throughout human history, the fate of languages has been closely linked to political power relationships. Political shifts in the international system continue to affect linguistic patterns, which today are still in a state of flux following the end of the Cold War.

It will appeal to researchers and students of sociolinguistics and language planning as well as of international relations.Read More
