Paperback. Etat : Fair. Language is used to define and redefine the world for its speakers. But in the long run, these essays point out, language is more dependent on the social world than the other way around. If the social situation is sufficiently compelling, language will bend, a new language will be learned, a compromise will be reached. By investigating the social and historical circumstances of language use, these papers demonstrate that the structure, indeed the existence, of language, is attributable to its 'social life'.1986 first edition second paperback printing.
