Book
This volume consists of the contributions of political scientists, linguists, and scholars of literature to a meeting on the politics of language purism.1 The rich texture of language purism is reflected in both the variety of approaches that the papers take to open up perspectives on purism and the variety of concrete situations that the papers de...
Article
Language and language use are such pervasive yet unobtrusive features of cross-cultural psychological research that their impact on studies is often underestimated or overlooked. In this paper three major aspects of language use in cross-cultural psychological research are discussed: (a) language as a field of study, (b) language of tests or measur...
Article
I shall argue that adoption of linguistics at institutions of higher learning in its present international disciplinary form, and in its expression through the medium of English (because English is a major foreign or second language in much of the world and the by far dominant language for the discipline of linguistics), can be contrary to the publ...

Article
This paper examines the process and mechanism of conversational repair in spoken Hong Kong Cantonese. Levelt calls for accounts of conversational repair from diverse languages; this paper helps test his supposition that “the organization of repair is quite invariant across languages and cultures” (1989: 497). The paper also raises the hypothesis th...

The article shows how both macro- and micro-sociolinguistic perspectives are necessary to explain national language management. Macro-level language planning is motivated by tasks of national consolidation by the state, notably in Singapore’s case tasks of socio-ethnic integration and economic development. Micro-level language management pertains t...
Article
The paper juxtaposes two socio‐educational value clusters that predict an ESL and an EFL approach, respectively, to English language acquisition management. The paper describes the two approaches, especially in educational terms, and relates them to the changing functions of English in the world and to national language development and maintenance....

Article

Market solutions based on private incentives to learn and maintain language skills alone fail to provide...
Article
There is a lack of perception of the interrelatedness of the three fish-naming systems: the scientific, the common, and the folk naming systems. Ichthyologists and regulators of fish names do not sufficiently appreciate the motivations and intricacies of folk naming systems or problems of professional and commercial use of names. At the common name...

An analysis of 884 articles indicated that despite the dominance of English as an international communicative medium, there was a strong national language usage pattern. National language u...

Linguistic theories distinguish between human faculty for language, for any language, and the realization of that capacity through the use of particular language in particular situations. There exists a fundamental contradiction between the linguist's endorsement of the human faculty for language that inevitably emerges equally in all of us and the...
