Description

Explore the complex world of sociolinguistics with this essential study on language standardization and variation. This book provides a fresh perspective by focusing on Asian languages, with specific attention to China and its neighboring regions. Unlike older research that assumes a monolingual nation state, this work examines how language standards function within actual multilingual contexts. Readers will gain insight into various forms of multilingualism, including hidden linguistic patterns. The chapters examine how multilingualism interacts with standardization processes, offering a necessary corrective to traditional theories. This volume is a vital resource for anyone studying how language policies and social structures shape communication in diverse Asian societies. It provides a deep look at the reality of multilingual individuals and the complex linguistic landscapes they inhabit.
