Reviews

<br> The idea of language ideology has matured to the point where it can be used to frame research agendas well beyond that of defining and defending the concept itself. Consequences of Contact does a splendid job of demonstrating the promise of this approach, offering insights into social and cultural transformation where multiple languages and language ideologies are in play. --Language in Society<br>

"""Consequences of Contact contains great insight, and the depth of detail it is able to achieve by focusing exclusively on Pacific Societies makes it an important collection. Makihara and Schieffelin have compiled a volume indispensable for anyone seeking a deep and comprehensive understanding of modern Pacific language change."" --Linguist List ""Consequences of Contact contains great insight, and the depth of detail it is able to achieve by focusing exclusively on Pacific Societies makes it an important collection.
