Language and Citizenship in Japan (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the changing relationship between language and citizenship in contemporary Japan. The essays collected here discuss the manner in which linguistic diversity calls into question the traditional view of a Japanese citizen as a first-language speaker of Japanese, and what the relationship between language and citizenship might henceforth be.
