AUTHOR
SUMMARY
In this book Louis-Jean Calvet argues that what we call 'languages' are in fact abstractions invented by linguists as a convenient tool to label the subject-matter of their science. Languages, Calvet contends, are social practices that we need to listen to, describe, & understand in the contexts in which they are used.Louis-Jean Calvet is the author of 'Towards an Ecology of World Languages', published 2006 under ISBN 9780745629568 and ISBN 0745629563.
