Shifting Languages - Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language
Errington, J. Joseph (Yale University, Connecticut)
In this book, Joseph Errington analyses the role of language in development in Indonesia. His analysis of 'shifting languages' in two Javanese villages examines changing conversational practices in relation to questions of ethnicity, nationalism, and political culture. The theoretical implications extend beyond Indonesia and South East Asia, to the developing world in general.
