Bilingualism: A Social Approach (Palgrave Advances in Language and Linguistics)

Arguing against a common sense view of bilingualism as the co-existence of two linguistic systems, this volume develops a critical perspective which approaches bilingualism as a wide variety of sets of sociolinguistic practices connected to the construction of social difference and of social inequality under specific historical conditions. This Volume Provides A Critical Examination Of The Notion Of Bilingualism As It Has Developed In Linguistics And Of Its Use In Discourses Of Social Regulation In State And Civil Society In The 20th And 21st Centuries. It Attempts To Move The Field Away From A Common Sense, But In Fact Highly Ideologized, View Of Bilingualism As The Co-existence Of Two Linguistic Systems, And To Develop A Critical Perspective Which Approaches Bilingualism In A Way That Allows For A Better Grasp Of The Ways In Which Language Practices And Socially And Politically Embedded. Students And Researchers Will Find A Fresh, Expansive And Critical View Of Bilingualism, Underpinned By Cutting-edge Research, The Book As A Whole Demonstrates That It Is Fruitful To Examine These Processes Historically, From A Political Economy Perspective, But That The Questions It Raises Require Linking Linguistic Form To Linguistic Practice In A Number Of Sites And In A Number Of Ways.

Much recent writing has been devoted to explaining how the crusades began and what they achieved. Aimed both at postgraduates and at professional academics, this volume is intended as an introductory guide and analysis of how different aspects of crusading studies have developed. Rather than giving an account of events, each chapter offers an interpretative and historiographical study. The contributors include older scholars with a well-established reputation within and outside the field of crusading studies and younger scholars whose work has already made an impact within the field, working in France, Germany, Greece, the UK and the USA. Their various approaches to the debates they discuss present readers who are approaching the subject for the first time with an overview of the wide spectrum of views held by scholars in this area "The contributors to this volume provide a critical examination of the notion of bilingualism as it has developed in linguistics and of its use in discourses of social regulation in state and civil society in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They attempt to move the field away from a "common sense," but in fact highly ideologized, view of bilingualism as the co-existence of two linguistic systems, and to develop a critical perspective which approaches "bilingualism" as a wide variety of sets of sociolinguistic practices connected to the construction of social difference and of social inequality under specific historical conditions."--Pub.desc Jeffrey Haynes offers readers an understanding of the disparate theories concerning development, their assumptions & the intellectual forces that underpin them
