Towards an Ecology of World Languages

by Andrew Brown (Translator), Louis - Jean Calvet (Author)

Synopsis

There are around 5,000 languages spoken across the world today, but the languages that coexist in our multilingual world have varied functions and fulfil various roles. Some are spoken by small groups, a village or a tribe; others, much less numerous, are spoken by hundreds of millions of speakers.
