Abstract:

This important contribution to the sociolinguistics of Asian languages breaks
new ground in the study of language standards and standardization in two key
ways: in its focus on Asia, with particular attention paid to China and its
neighbours, and in the attention paid to multilingual contexts. The chapters
address various kinds of (sometimes hidden) multilingualism and examine the
interactions between multilingualism and language standardization, offering a
corrective to earlier work on standardization, which has tended to assume a
monolingual nation state and monolingual individuals. Taken together, the
chapters in this book thus add to our understanding of the ways in which
multilingualism is implicated in language standardization, as well as the
impact of language standards on multilingualism.

The introduction, Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 are free to download as open access
publications.
