Abstract:

This book is a multidisciplinary analysis of the meaning and dynamics of
multilingualism from the perspectives of multilingual societies and language
communities in the margins, who are trapped in a vicious circle of
disadvantage. It analyses the social, psychological and sociolinguistic
processes of linguistic dominance and hierarchical relationships among
languages, discrimination, marginalisation and assertive maintenance in
multilingualism characterised by a Double Divide, and shows the relationship
between educational neglect of languages, capability deprivation and poverty,
and loss of linguistic diversity. Its comparative analysis of
language-in-education policies and practices and applications of multilingual
education (MLE) in diverse contexts shows some promises and challenges in the
education of indigenous/tribal/minority children. This book will be of
interest to students, researchers, educators and practitioners in
sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, psycholinguistics, multilingualism
and bilingual/multilingual education.
