Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and identity in contemporary South Africa with this scholarly monograph from Routledge. Grounded in ethnographic research, this work examines how English functions as a lingua franca while navigating the politics of race and language. By looking at the ways of speaking English, the text reveals how identities are constructed within a multilingual environment. This multidisciplinary study focuses on the experiences of isiZulu and Afrikaans speakers to raise questions about power and ideology. It bridges the gap between several academic fields, including English as a lingua franca, raciolinguistics, and the cultural politics of English. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in linguistic anthropology and the social impacts of language use in diverse societies.
