Opis

This fascinating study of languages in contact introduces new insights from popular culture, the globalised new economy and computer-mediated communication.

Recenzje

'It is refreshing that Lim and Ansaldo's project is less a textbook on creolistics, of which the discipline does not need another instalment, and rather a summation of the field. It is a critical distillation of significant issues and debates in creole studies integrated within a more modern sociolinguistics involving research into multilingualism, code switching, language shift, and language and globalisation.' Joshua Nash, Languages in Contrast
