Abstract

Jacques Maurais and Michael A. Morris (eds.), Languages in a globalising world. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. Pp. xiv, 345. Hb. $75.00.This is an ambitious volume keyed to some of the most acute concerns of our time in regard to the linguistic condition of the world of late modernity. This collective effort is structured in such a manner as to offer the widest possible coverage of languages, broad geographical areas, and politico-economic blocks. It consists of 21 chapters, including the Introduction and Conclusion. Figures and tables provide useful supplements to the analytical parts of several chapters. It is unfortunate that the bulk and density of this work does not allow for a chapter-by-chapter review here.
