Language ecology for the 21st century : linguistic conflicts and social environments

Omtale

Einar Haugen's theory of language ecology is considered by many to mark the finest hour of one of the greatest linguists of our times. This volume seeks to explore the continued value and applicability of Haugen's ecolinguistic views, both in the development of current sociolinguistic theory and practice, and in a series of case-studies on language ecological issues within and beyond Europe.
