This book was released on 1998-06-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven papers concentrate on lesser-researched forms of communication--ideophones, dialects, and sign language. They also explore the relationship between language and society in a broad framework in order to emphasize not only the validity but the centrality of language variety and variation. Taken together, the essays argue for moving away from the classic, narrow view to a more informed and intelligent one of what language means for individuals and groups.
