Mesthrie Rajend. Language in South Africa

Pages: 505
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (2004)
Quality: good: pdf

This is a comprehensive and wide-ranging guide to language and society in South Africa. The book surveys the most important language groupings in the region in terms of pre-colonial and colonial history; contact between the different language varieties (leading to language loss, pidginization, creolization and new mixed varieties). It examines language and public policy issues associated with the transition to a post-apartheid society and its eleven official languages. All the chapters are informed by the importance of socio-political history in understanding questions of language.

This is a thoroughly revised and updated version of Language and Social History first published in 1995 by David Philip Publishers (Pty) Ltd © Rajend Mesthrie and the authors.
