Description

Understanding Linguistic Diversity: A Global Perspective This book explores how languages live and evolve in a globalized society. It examines language contact and competition, as well as the emergence and consequences of multilingualism. Edwards delves into the origins and development of languages, including lingua francas, pidgins, creoles, and artificial languages. He also considers the role of translation in helping languages thrive and the impact of polyglots on identity. A concise introduction to multilingualism, this book is ideal for those new to the subject or looking to deepen their understanding of language diversity.
