{"product_id":"current-multilingualism-david-singleton-9781614513896","title":"Current Multilingualism: A New Linguistic Dispensation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume approaches contemporary multilingualism as a new linguistic dispensation, in urgent need of research-led, reflective scrutiny. The book addresses the emergent global and local patterns of multingual use and acquisition across the world and explores the major trends that characterize today's multilingualism. It is divided into three parts on the basis of the broad themes: education (including multilingual learning in its general, theoretical aspects), sociolinguistic dimensions and language policy. The book's fifteen chapters, written by renowned international experts, discuss a range of issues relating to the quintessential and unique properties of multilingual situations - issues relevant to the challenges faced in different ways by researcher and practitioners alike. All the contributions share a focus on currently operative patterns of interaction between contexts, events and processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Singleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614513899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614513896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"David Singleton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44067802906879,"sku":"9781614513896","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b40036c8-3eff-4652-bc19-095c6dadfddf.jpg?v=1685415421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/current-multilingualism-david-singleton-9781614513896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
