Singapore: Singapore University Press, 1980. Hardcover. 16 x 23 cm.; pg. 300; Foreword, notes on contributors, bibliography, author index, subject index. "Singapore is a multilingual society with a variety of languages and dialects. Language ia a major factor not only in social interaction but also in social policy planning. In recent years a number of studies have been undertaken which probe aspects of language use or choice in the social contexts of Singapore. These studies span several disciplines, methodologies, and areas of focus, but they all converge on the role and function of language in the Singapore society. This volume brings together the theoretical analyses and empirical findings available. The areas covered are the sociolinguistic classification of the community, language and the major institutions, and language policy and language shift. There is also an integrative overview and a bibliographic analysis of works on the sociology of language in Singapore. " ISBN 9971690160; 9971690160. Fine in Fine dust jacket .
