Description

Language and Ethnicity in Minority Sociolinguistic Perspective by Joshua A. Fishman This collection of essays explores six key topics related to language and ethnicity, focusing on minority group concerns. Topics include the relationship between ethnicity and language, language maintenance and shift, language planning, bilingual education, social elites and rank-and-file members, and ethnolinguistic homogeneity and heterogeneity. The book is prefaced by specially written introductions for each topic, as well as an introduction to the volume as a whole. Fishman's work on cultural democracy and pluralism is woven throughout the selections, providing a unified philosophical and scientific framework for understanding these complex issues. With its comprehensive coverage of sociolinguistic perspectives on minority groups, this book offers valuable insights into the intricate relationships between language, culture, and identity.
