Popis: | This piece reviews David Gramling’s The Invention of Monolingualism (Bloomsbury, 2016), winner of the 2018American Association for Applied Linguistics book award. With the prevalence of academic discourse on bi/multilingualism, this book takes on the under-explored notion of monolingualism. Drawing from a range of disciplines, including applied linguistics, literary studies, translation studies, and comparative world literature, Gramling raises important questions about monolingualism, how the term is used, and understandings of language itself. |
