The Workings of Language: From Prescriptions to PerspectivesRebecca S. Wheeler Bloomsbury Academic, 30.09.1999 - 250 Seiten The essays in this book help to make sense of the workings of language in our everyday world—on the personal, local, national, and international levels. The authors are all linguists, seeking to help readers free themselves of language prejudices, thus opening the way to better informed views on the function of language in society, a more balanced treatment in schools, and more linguistically-sound public policies. |
