Annotation

Contributing to the growing literature on African sociolinguistics and language planning, this book examines the relationship between language and rural development in Cameroon, opposing French as 'officialese' to many local (trade) languages of (more) underpriviliged ethnic groups. There are particularly valuable insights into language, religion and education.
