Marking the return - after a two-year hiatus - of this annual collection of essays on linguistics and language education, the 1999 volume speaks to the most pressing social issues of our time. More than thirty contributors from around the world take up longstanding debates about language diversity, language standardization, and language policy. They tackle such controversial issues as the Offical English movement, bilingual education, and ideological struggles over African American Vernacular English. Contributors: Wendy D. Bokhorst-Heng, Roger Bowers, Anna Uhl Chamot, James R. Child, Donna Christian, Colleen Cotter, Madeline Ehrman, Ralph W. Fasold, Reinhold Freudenstein, Leanne Hinton, Frederick H. Jackson, Marsha A. Kaplan, Stephen D. Krashen, Pardee Lowe, Jr., Beth A. Mackey, Margaret E. Malone, Tom McArthur, Salikoko Mufwene, Denise E. Murray, Anne Pakir, Rosalie Pendalino Porter, John A. Rassias, David L. Red, Ronald Scollon, Shaligram Shukla, Roger W. Shuy, Bernard Spolsky, Eric J. Stone, Edwin Thumboo, G. Richard Tucker, Walt Wolfram.
