Description - Ethnic Englishes, Indigenous and Migrant Languages by Gerhard Leitner
Australia's Englishes, its indigenous, migrant and contact languages and wide-ranging language policies are well-known. Based on extensive research, Census and other data, this book develops a comprehensive and integrative approach to Australia's language habitat and the transformation of the indigenous habitats since colonization. Linking social history, linguistic development and political and educational perspectives of language policy and planning, it provides a succinct overview of this segment of Australia's many voices and shows how it relates to Australian English, the national language.
