Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Language policy is a topic of growing importance around the world, as issues such as the recognition of linguistic diversity, the establishment of official languages, the status of languages in educational systems, the status of heritage and minority languages, and speakers' legal rights have come increasingly to the forefront. One fifth of the American population do not speak English as their first language. While race, gender and religious discrimination are recognized as illegal, the US does not currently accord the same protections regarding language; discrimination on the basis of language is accepted, and even promoted, in the name of unity and efficiency. Setting language within the context of America's history, this book explores the diverse range of linguistic inequalities, covering voting, criminal and civil justice, education, government and public services, and the workplace, and considers how linguistic differences challenge our fundamental ideals of democracy, justice and fairness. This book explores how linguistic inequality affects the basic concepts of democracy, justice and fairness in the United States. It will interest sociolinguists working on language policy, students and scholars of ethnic studies, and legal scholars exploring how language issues intersect with the law. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
