Description
The volume explores the social, cultural, and historical forms of "language" that have come to be associated with "Asia" as a global phenomenon and their implications for better understanding the contemporary linguistic and political landscape in Asias.
The book examines the flows of migration, people, cultures, and language resources within, across, through, to, and from Asias in tandem with social, political, and ideological factors, drawing on case studies of global iterations of a wide range of Asian national and cultural imaginaries. In so doing, the volume builds on the growing body of scholarship on the sociolinguistics of globalization in its critical inquiries into the linguistic and cultural practices that have come to be constitutive of national or supranational localities toward unpacking the forces of globalization more broadly.
This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in sociolinguistics, multilingualism, linguistic anthropology, Asian Studies, and Asian American studies. 7 Tables, black and white; 11 Halftones, black and white; 11 Illustrations, black and white
