Description

This is the second of three volumes including essays by distinguished scholars who have been influenced by the pioneer of the sociology of language, Joshua A. Fishman. It is being published on the occasion of his 65th birthday. This volume contains interdisciplinary essays on bilingual education in various countries of the world. This volume is a collection of theoretical perspectives and empirical data which includes papers on Catalan, Galician, Tagalog and the minority languages of Kenya. Most of the contributions deal with ethnic minorities in North America: language maintenance and shift, and cultural aspects of "language minorities" as well as Judeo-English and Yiddish spoken by children of Jewish immigrants.
