Deborah Cameron, ed,, THE FEMINIST CRITIQUE OF LANGUAGE
A Reader
Since its first publication in 1990, The Feminist Critique of Language
has been the established guide to the major debates and directions in
current feminist thinking about language. This edition has been
thoroughly updated and expanded to take account of new developments in
feminist thought about language, including new material on sexist
language and political correctness. New extracts have been included
from: Felly Nkweto Simmonds, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Luce Irigaray, Sara
Mills, Margaret Doyle, Debbie Cameron, Susan Ehrlich and Ruth King,
Kate Clark, Sally McConnell-Ginet, Deborah Tannen, Aki Uchida,
Jennifer Coates and Kira Hall. Each section has been subdivided to
clarify the key areas of debate and new editorial material and
suggested reading sections have been added.

Harold F. Schiffman, LINGUISTIC CULTURE AND LANGUAGE POLICY
Now available in paperback, Linguistic Culture and Language Policy
examines how language policy in three very different nations evolved
and how it is not merely the specific embodiment of rule, but rather
primarily a social construct that rests on other conceptual elements
such as belief systems, attitudes and myths. By scrutinizing the
multilingual democracies of India, France and the US, Schiffman
examines how language policies are formed within a broader framework
and are heavily influenced by the covert and implicit grass-roots of
its linguistic culture. By seeing language policy as culture-specific,
we understand why language policies evolve, why they work--or not--and
how people's lives are affected by them.

Peter Auer, ed,, CODE-SWITCHING IN CONVERSATION
Language, Interaction and Identity
Collecting contributions from a wide variety of international
sociolinguistic settings in which this phenomenon of code-switching is
observed, this volume addresses the structure, function and
ideological value of such bilingual behavior. The contributors
question many views of code-switching on the basis of many European
and non-European contexts. By bringing together linguistic,
anthropological and socio-psychological research, they move towards a
more realistic conception of bilingual conversation.

David Barton and Mary Hamilton, LOCAL LITERACIES
Reading and Writing in One Community
Local Literacies is a unique study of everyday reading and writing. By
concentrating on a selection of people in a particular community in
Britain, the authors analyze how they use literacy in their day to day
lives. This exploration provides a description of literacy at one
point in time, and also reveals the nature and significance of
communication to people, households and communities.
