It documents how different script reforms meet dramatically different fates according to local preferences, history, cross-border ties, and the vitality of previously-used scripts. It convincingly shows that no single variable is decisive in the success of a script, and that language planners' fixation with technical details is doomed to failure, without careful coordination of extra-code factors. It also documents the little-known Sino-Soviet cooperation in the area of writing reforms. In a style accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students, Zhou's book is of interest to language planners, sinologists, applied linguists, writing theorists, and ethnologists.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Weight: 822gAuthor: Minglang ZhouGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Contributions to the Sociology of Language [CSL]Release Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
