Abstract:

Together with changes in the nature of modernity, globalisation is
restructuring society. The sovereignty of the nation-state is undermined,
the structuring of identity is realigned and a sense of individualism
(which involves a freedom of choice re institutional alignments) prevails.
English emerges as the global lingua franca. At the heart of these
developments is the knowledge economy within which work is organised
according to principles quite different from those of the Taylorism that
prevailed in the industrial economy. Language and culture play a crucial
role in the elaboration of the shared meaning that is crucial for learning
within team working. The book argues that creativity is enhanced by the use
of multilingualism within working practices. It concludes with an overview
of how our understanding of language is also changing. 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help

Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to: 
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
