This volume presents a comprehensive introduction to the connection between language and ethnicity.

"I liked your book. It was easy to read. It was snappy."
- Mark Sanborn, bestselling author of The Fred Factor

Imagine that you have just been promoted to sales manager and the selected method for your training is through osmosis. This is the gradual, often unconscious, absorption of knowledge or ideas through continual exposure rather than deliberate learning. In short, there is no organized plan or structure to guide you along. The realization that this method of non-training still exists is a perplexing phenomenon. How can the successful manager pass on the legacy of his...

This book, focused on corpus planning in language policy, provides a broad, integrative framework and also discusses multiple languages in detail. It provides readers with great familiarity with a wide range of language cases and at the same time gives them the theoretical tools and analysis to see how they inter-relate.
The novelty of this volume is twofold: First, it deals with corpus planning alone (modernizing a language per se), and second, it does so in terms of a systematization of the often unconscious language status aspirations that both guide language planners themselves and...

An incisive narrative history of the Islamic State, from the 2005 master plan to reestablish the Caliphate to its quest for Final Victory in 2020

Despite a massive schism between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, al-Adl's plan has proved remarkably prescient. In...
