Description
An innovative interdisciplinary approach to the political ethics of linguistic diversity.
"Drawing on both normative principles and empirical findings, the various essays in this volume examine the centrality of language to issues of social justice, exploring its role in establishing social equality, status, and solidarity, as well as how individual and group identity and dignity seek verbal expression. Also explored are the expressive and communicative aspects of language as shown through social, economic, and political practices and structures. The essays are rigorous, thorough, and demanding, while also being fair and fecund. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals." Choice
