Babel or Behemoth: Language Trends in Asia |
|||
| Jennifer Lindsay and Tan Ying Ying (editors) | ||||
|
How are people in Asia negotiating language? With the growing hegemony of English in transnational life, the flourishing of national languages at the expense of vernaculars, the redefining of speech communities through new technologies, how are language communities finding - or losing - expression? This book presents essays by scholars and practitioners about some trends in language across Asia, looking at language issues as they arise in some of the multiple negotiations and translations with which many Asians live on a daily basis. Contributors include: Anthony Reid, Joseph Lo Bianco, Goenawan Mohamad, Udaya Narayana Singh, Rujaya Abhakorn, Azirah Hashim, Eddie C. Y. Kuo, Bjorn Jernudd, Benedict Anderson, Jennifer Lindsay, Koichi Iwabuchi and Tan Ying Ying. |
