Synopsis

A fresh and unique take on a widely taught topic, Language and Linguistic Diversity in the US discusses the many languages and forms of language that have been used in the US and shows how this distribution and diversity of languages has helped shape and define America and an American identity. This accessible volume introduces the basic concepts of sociolinguistics and the politics of language, and is ideal for readers with no prior knowledge of the field.
