Abstract:

In this major new text, Joshua Fishman charts the rise of vernacular literacy in 
Europe, and the major social, economic, religious, political, demographic, 
educational and philosophical changes that attended it. Following the story up 
until the present day, the book examines the people who became leaders of the 
growth of vernacular literacy in Europe, and looks at how European colonizers 
viewed vernacular literacy efforts in their current and former colonies. Looking 
forward, Fishman discusses how new technology affects vernacular literacy both 
now and in the present, and whether developments in voice and visual media 
mean that vernacular literacy will be less important to future generations than it 
is to us.  'European Vernacular Literacy' is not only a review of well-known facts 
and theories of the rise of vernacular literacy in Europe, but an attempt to 
reintegrate and rethink them along new and provocative lines, meaning that the 
book will be of interest not only to students of literacy and history but also to 
scholars interested in Fishman's latest contribution to sociolinguistics.
