Bøker i Sprache - Identitaet - Kultur-serien

This book analyses and compares the language use of Spanish speaking migrants in Lima and Madrid through corpora and uses a feature pool approach to language contact that is based on principles of linguistic ecology. It defines the interrelations of language and identity constitution and discusses the question of migrants' cultural integration.

This volume addresses an essential topic to understand the relations between language and society: the representation of authority in discourses on language. It does so in a panromanic scope through the analysis of the columns on language in a contrastive, diatopic and diachronic approach to the relations between language and power.
