This is the first work of its kind to bring together a wide range of studies of major sociolinguistic issues as they concern the languages of South Africa.
Written by specialists in their fields, the contributions deal with such topics as language contact, language loss, the formation of pidgins, Creoles and social dialects, and language policy and planning.
The book is aimed chiefly at all students of linguistics and language, and will be of use and interest as well to historians, sociologists, speech therapists and anthropologists.
