 | Bilingualism, Education and Identity (ISBN 0708312888)
This volume analyses and discusses various facets of bilingualism from an international perspective. The topics covered include the relationship of bilingualism and intelligence, the social and geographical bases of bilingualism, acculturation, and lexical development. But it is the field of bilingual education which supplies the main area of interest with papers on school systems in Wales, Australia and Nigeria: the discussions here examine linguistic aspects of curricular design, language teaching methodology, and assessment.

The Changing Voices of Europe (ISBN 0-7083-1259-4 )
Social and political change and their linguistic repercussions, past, present and future
Edited by Winifred V. Davies, M. Mair Parry and Rosalind A. M. Temple
pp xvii355 1994 hardback
A timely collection of informative articles that examine sociolinguistic issues in many of the countries of Western Europe. Languages do not exist in a vacuum but are affected by the social and political changes that affect their speakers. Such changes can lead to modifications both in the structure of a given language and in how much or how little it is used by the community. The volume deals with the linguistic repercussions of social and political change in Western Europe in a series of articles by specialists in each area that range from general surveys to detailed studies of one linguistic variety in a particular historical context. Although the main focus is on the present and on the prospects for the future within a more closely-integrated Europe the volume also contains several contributions that illustrate the far-reaching effects of social and political developments on language use and structure in past centuries.

It includes essays on the origins and meaning of Standard English, on the history of dialectology and on Chaucer's use of dialect, as well as the first published discussion of the unexpected parallels between dialectology and deconstruction.

| | A Geography of the Welsh Language 1961 - 1991 (ISBN 0-7083-1236-5)
Language serves as both a symbol and a definer of culture. The well-being and integrity of a culture depend heavily on the strength and vitality of its associated language. It is for this reason that the process of language change within particular cultures needs to be monitored and scrutinised. This volume is a map-based analysis of patterns of language change. It concludes that the prime influences on the language derive from the large-scale socio-economic changes which have taken place in Western Society as a whole since the end of the Second World War.
