Abstract:

The (dis)empowerment of languages through language policy in multilingual
postcolonial communities often shapes speakers’ identification with these
languages, their attitude towards other languages in the community, and their
choices in interpersonal and intergroup communication. Focusing on the
dynamics of Cameroon’s multilingualism, this book contributes to current
debates on the impact of politic language policy on daily language use in
sociocultural and interpersonal interactions, multiple identity construction,
indigenous language teaching and empowerment, the use of Cameroon Pidgin
English in certain formal institutional domains initially dominated by the
official languages, and linguistic patterns of social interaction for
politeness, respect, and in-group bonding. Due to the multiple perspectives
adopted, the book will be of interest to sociolinguists, applied linguists,
pragmaticians, Afrikanists, and scholars of postcolonial linguistics.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
                     Sociolinguistics
