Description: Multilingual Citizen : Towards a Politics of Language for Agency and Change, Paperback by Lim, Lisa (EDT); Stroud, Christopher (EDT); Wee, Lionel (EDT), ISBN 178309964X, ISBN-13 9781783099641, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Contributed by an international group of linguists and other researchers, the 13 essays in this collection are based on papers from a workshop of the same name held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2007, with reflections on what has changed since the workshop. They engage with the concept of linguistic citizenship, in which speakers exercise agency and participation through the use of language or other multimodal means in the context of institutionalized democratic frameworks and integrate alternative voices into processes and structures that otherwise alienate them, showing how change and transformation are linguistically mediated in the context of state structures and institutions designed to selectively service or deny language rights to speakers. They contrast linguistic citizenship with the linguistic human rights framework and address linguistic citizenship in terms of multilingualism, marginality, and development, discussing essentialism and language rights; fostering linguistic citizenship through education, including language planning and policy in Cameroon, Mozambique, East-Timor, and Thailand; and linguistic citizenship in resistance and participation in Sri Lanka Malay communities, Sweden, Malawi, and South Africa.
