AbstractComprehensive introduction to the connection between language and ethnicity. The chapters in section one examine disciplinary perspectives, introducing the subject from a kaleidoscope of viewpoints--including economics, education, political science, history, psychology, religion, and sociolinguistics--and instructs the reader in the basic human attributes and drives that influence our understanding of language and their relationship to each other. The chapters in section two use the prism of geography to illustrate how these attributes continue to take form in individual lives, communities, and our world. United States and Canada pp. 244-264. Germany pp. 286-299.
