Discourses of Endangerment: Ideology and Interest in the Defence of Languages - Advances in Sociolinguistics
Monica Heller
Academic discussions and public debates frequently focus on the importance of defending languages against various kinds of dangers. This book argues that the discussions in question are not about language itself, but rather ideological struggles which are about the position of nation states and of minorities in the globalized world order.
