Language as commodity : global structures, local marketplaces / edited by Peter K.W. Tan and Rani Rubdy.
This text engages with languages policies and positions in relation to the roles and functions these languages adopt. It examines the 'value' of languages, defined in terms of the power they have in the global marketplace as much as within the complex matrices of the local socio-politics.
