About this title

Synopsis

Studies linguistic problems that affect social and cultural life through discussions of the variety, functions, and learning of language.

From the Back Cover

This book focuses on those language problems that touch human life rather that on the techniques and goals of current linguistics. The seventeen contributors-linguists, psychologist, anthropologists, and educators-explore those problems of language which have become urgent; problems of literacy, translation, bilingualism, language teaching, language and nationalism, and the role of dialects.
