Local Languaging, Literacy and Multilingualism in a West African Society
Local Languaging, Literacy and Multilingualism in a West African Society
Autor
Kasper Juffermans
This book aims to enhance and challenge our understanding of language and literacy as social practices against the background of heightened globalisation. Juffermans presents an ethnographic study of The Gambia, arguing that language should be conceptualised as a verb (languaging) rather than a countable noun (a language, languages).
