Language and Globalization: Northern Perspectives on Order, Purity and Normality

Blommaert, J.; Leppänen, S.; Pahta, P.; Virkkula, T.

Focuses on the endangering effects of language-ideological processes. This book looks at the challenges imposed by globalization and super-diversity on the nation state and its language situations and ideologies, and demonstrates how many of its problems rise from the tension between late-modern diversity and the (pre-)modernist responses to it.
