Public ISBD Titre : An Introduction to Multilingualism : Language in a Changing World Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Florian Coulmas, Auteur Editeur : UK : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 352 p Format : 24.5 x17 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-879111-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 418 Résumé : This book offers an introduction to the many facets of multilingualism in a changing world. It begins with an overview of the multiplicity of human languages and their geographic distribution, before moving on to the key question of what multilingualism actually is and what is understood by terms such as 'mother tongue', 'native speaker', and 'speech community'. In the chapters that follow, Florian Coulmas systematically explores multilingualism with respect to the individual, institutions, cities, nations, and cyberspace. In each of these domains, the dynamics of language choice are undergoing changes as a result of economic, political, and cultural forces. Against this background, two chapters discuss the effects of linguistic diversity on the integration and separation of language and society, before a final chapter describes and assesses research methods for investigating multilingualism. Each chapter concludes with problems and questions for discussion, which place the topic in a real-world context.

Drawing on contemporary and historical examples, from clay tablets to touchscreen displays, the book explores the functions of writing and written language, analysing its consequences for language, society, economy and politics.
