ATTITUDES TOWARDS ENGLISH (LINN ET AL) LSL 2 (Language and Social Life: English in Europe, 1)

The status of English in Europe is changing, and this book offers a series of studies of attitudes to English today. Until recently English was often seen as an opportunity for Europeans to take part in the global market, but increasingly English is viewed as a threat to the national languages of Europe, and the idea that Europeans are equally at home in English is being challenged. This book will appeal to anyone interested in global English.
