Abstract:

This volume offers a new perspective on sociolinguistics in Africa. Eschewing
the traditional approach which looks at the interaction between European and
African languages in the wake of colonialism, this book turns its focus to the
social dynamics of African languages and African societies. Divided into two
sections, the book offers insight into the crucial topics such as: language
vitality and endangerment, the birth of ‘new languages’, a sociolinguistics of
the city, language contact and language politics. It spans the continent from
Algeria to South Africa, Guinea-Bissau to Kenya and addresses the following
broad themes: 

Language variation, contact and change
The dynamics of urban, rural and youth languages
Policy and practice

This book provides an alternative to the Eurocentric view of sociolinguistic
dynamics in Africa, and will make an ideal read or supplemental textbook for
scholars and students in the field/disciplines of African languages and
linguistics, and those interested in southern theory or ‘sociolinguistics in
the margins’.
