Abstract:

South Africa is a country characterised by great linguistic diversity. Large
indigenous languages, such as isiZulu and isiXhosa, are spoken by many
millions of people, as well as the languages with European roots, such as
Afrikaans and English, which are spoken by several millions and used by many
more in daily life. This situation provides a plethora of contact scenarios,
all of which have resulted in language variation and change, and which forms
the main focus of this insightful volume. Written by a team of leading
scholars, it investigates a range of sociolinguistic factors and the
challenges that South Africans face as a result of multilingualism and
globalisation in both education and social interaction. The historical
background to English in South Africa provides a framework within which the
interfaces with other languages spoken in the country are scrutinised, whilst
highlighting processes of contact, bilingualism, code-switching and language
shift.
