Review:
The authors advance the study of language ideologies with a cluster of important notions. The eight essays in this volume proceed from macrolevel studies to more microlevel analyses. Although nationalist ideologies in state formation and in scholarly representations are emphasized in many essays, several authors document their claims with microinteractional analysis and transcripts and examine how language users awareness shapes their linguistic practice, helping to reproduce or transform linguistic and social structures. --Miki Makihara, American Ethnologist, vol. 29, no. 1, Feb. 2002
An important addition to the growing literature on language ideology . . . This book richly deserves to be read and studied by a wide audience of anthropologists, linguists, rhetoricians, sociologists, cultural theorists, and political scientists. --Talbot J.
