About The Book
This book makes available a selection of the author's research on understanding Wales from a sociolinguistic perspective. Challenging some establishment views about the link between the Welsh language and Welsh social identities, the book covers a range of subjects such as language, identity, style, bilingualism, language policy, language change and globalization with respect to Wales, the Welsh global diaspora, Welshness and Welsh English.
