Abstract:
The past decade has seen an unprecedented growth in the study of
language contact, associated partly with the linguistic effects of
globalization and increased migration all over the world. Written by a
leading expert in the field, this new and much-needed account brings
together disparate findings to examine the dynamics of contact between
languages in an immigrant context. Using data from a wide range of
languages, including German, Dutch, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish,
Croatian and Vietnamese, Michael Clyne discusses the dynamics of their
contact with English. Clyne analyzes how and why these languages
change in an immigration country like Australia, and asks why some
languages survive longer than others. The book contains useful
comparisons between immigrant vintages, generations, and between
bilinguals and trilinguals. An outstanding contribution to the study
of language contact, this book will be welcomed by students and
researchers in linguistics, bilingualism, the sociology of language
and education.

Abstract:
Language policy is an issue of critical importance in the world
today. In this up-to-date introduction, Bernard Spolsky explores many
debates at the forefront of language policy: ideas of correctness and
bad language; bilingualism and multilingualism; language death and
efforts to preserve endangered languages; language choice as a human
and civil right; and language education policy. Through looking at the
language practices, beliefs and management of social groups from
families to supra-national organizations, he develops a theory of
modern national language policy and the major forces controlling it,
such as the demands for efficient communication, the pressure for
national identity, the attractions of (and resistance to) English as a
global language, and the growing concern for human and civil rights as
they impinge on language. Two central questions asked in this
wide-ranging survey are of how to recognize language policies, and
whether or not language can be managed at all.
1. Language practices, ideology and beliefs, and management and
planning
2. Driving out the bad
3. Pursuing the good and dealing with the new
4. The nature of language policy and its domains
5. Two monolingual polities - Iceland and France
6. How did English spread?
7. Does the US have a language policy or just civil rights?
8. Language rights
9. Monolingual polities under pressure
10. Monolingual polities with recognised linguistic minorities
11. Partitioning language space - two, three, many
12. Resisting language shift
13. Conclusions.
