With a flurry of recent public controversy surrounding legislation on language in education and the workplace, observers are beginning to assess the likely consequences of the shift in balance when speakers of English as a second and foreign language outnumber native speakers. At the same time there is a growing appreciation of the benefits which multilingualism brings for both minority language speakers and the wider English-speaking community in terms of business, the arts, diplomacy and defence. Multilingualism in the English-speaking World: Pedigree of Nations looks at the everyday realities for people living in 'inner-circle' English-speaking countries from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Accessibly written and drawing on real-life examples from North America, the British Isles, Australia and New Zealand, this book discusses the theoretical issues that underpin the current debates, drawing on the research literature on societal multilingualism, language maintenance and shift, language policy, language and power, and language and identity.

Its focus onmultilingualism in English-dominant countries uncovers a wealth oflanguage activity that has largely gone unnoticed, and unremarked,until now, providing a much-needed counterbalance to the myopicpreoccupation in the academic and wider popular literature withEnglish. Viv Edwards's book is also simply a pleasure to read- highly lucid, accessible and interesting, there is muchhere to enjoy, and learn from, for both the academic and thegeneral reader.'
