About the Book

This book results from a collaboration between activists and academics. The editors believe that if grammar is to become politically important, then educated people must receive some grounding in a scientifically based descriptive linguistics before they are exposed to the prejudices of traditional prescriptive linguistics.

Issues covered include: the use of language as a form of ethnic defence; the implications of the emergence of literary forms of languages without a written tradition; the social position of speakers of these languages; educational strategies for supporting students from these communities; and multilingual education and its political implications.

Some case studies of educational initiatives are included.

The book will interest those involved in work with minority communities using languages without a written tradition including teachers, community development and support workers and members of these communities concerned to identify strategies to achieve greater recognition of the intrinsic worth of these language traditions.
