The Language Difference

Language and Development in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book asks whether language makes a difference when it comes to development, and whether there is a perceptible difference in development between countries that is attributable to their choice of language. It answers these questions by comparing the role of language in Africa and in Southeast Asia (Cambodia, the Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam).
