Vaughan Rapatahana, Pauline Bunce
Multilingual Matters, 22 iun. 2012 - 275 pagini
English Language as Hydra argues that, far too often, the English language industry has become a swirling, beguiling monster, unashamedly intent on challenging local lingua-diversity and threatening individual identities. This book brings together the voices of linguists, literary figures and teaching professionals in a wide-ranging expos? of this enormous Hydra in action on four continents.
