Language, Society, and the State: From Colonization to Globalization in Taiwan

By (author) Gareth Price

| on special |

normal price: R 731.95

Price: R 695.95


| book description |

Using Taiwan as a case study, this book constructs an innovative theory of a political sociology of language. Through documentary and ethnographic data and a comparative-historical method the book illustrates how language mediates interactions between society and the state and becomes politicized as a result; how language, politics and power are intertwined processes; and how these processes are not isolated in institutions but socially embedded.
