Description

This scholarly volume examines the linguistic and educational dimensions of missionary and colonial enterprises across all continents from the 15th to 20th centuries. The collection brings together academic texts exploring how language instruction, transcription, translation, and grammatization practices shaped colonial encounters and educational systems. Contributions address both contemporaneous linguistic work conducted by Catholic and Protestant missionaries, as well as retrospective analyses following decolonization. The book provides an extended historical perspective on language teaching methodologies, dictionary production, and educational frameworks that emerged from or responded to colonial contexts, making it essential reading for historians, linguists, and scholars of colonial history and language education.

Key Features

Covers linguistic and educational aspects of missionary and colonial enterprises across all continents with a 15th-20th century diachronic perspective.

Includes analysis of transcription, translation, and grammatization practices developed by Catholic and Protestant missionary societies.

Features both contemporary colonial-era linguistic work and retrospective post-decolonization scholarship examining language teaching.

Published by Amsterdam University Press and Routledge, offering peer-reviewed academic content on languages and culture in history.

Addresses dictionary production, language instruction methodologies, and educational frameworks in colonial and missionary contexts.
