"Overall, The Handbook of Language and Globalizationsucceeds in providing the reader with insightful analysis at theintersection of language and globalization. With its broad scopeand inclusion of useful research topics, the volume can beconsidered as an open gate for a wider field of study and researchin sociolinguistics. It also provides a stimulating and complexpicture of the state of theory and practice in the area of languageand globalization." (Linguist, 18 October2012)
"An enlightening and engaging collection byeminent international scholars. A major resource for the study oftheoretical and pragmatic approaches to Global English, includingconcerns about 'marginalization' and'murder' of languages." Braj B.Kachru,Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois
"This Handbook provides a fascinating exposition of thecomplex, multidimensional nature of globalization as it pertains tothe world's languages. Coupland has marshalled authors at theforefront of their fields who offer a diversity of approaches anddo not flinch from disputes and challenging questions. I suspectthat this book will transform the discourse on globalization withinlinguistics and will impel a reconsideration of whether linguisticdiversity is inevitably impacted by globalprocesses." Margaret Florey, Resource Networkfor Linguistic Diversity
