Abstract:

Multilingualism in the English-Speaking World: Pedigree of Nations
explores the consequences of English as a global language and
multilingualism as a social phenomenon. Written accessibly, it
explores the extent of diversity in 'inner circle' English speaking
countries (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New
Zealand) and examines language in the home, school, and the wider
community.

- Considers the perspectives of English as a global language as well
as multilingualism as a social phenomenon.

- Written in an accessible style that draws on contemporary real life 
examples.

- Examines the everyday realities of people living in 'inner circle'
English-speaking countries, such as the UK, USA, Canada, South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

- Discusses the theoretical issues that underpin current debates,
drawing on research literature on societal multilingualism, language
maintenance and shift, language policy, language and power, and
language and identity.
