Description and Table of Contents
Description
Eliezer and Miriam Ben-Rafael investigate world-cities' linguistic landscapes about the intermingling influences of globalization, the national principle and multiculturalism through conjunctions of their respective codes - lingua francas, national languages and ethnic vernaculars. These analyses lead to the elaboration of a paradigm of multiple globalizations.
