From the Back Cover

This book focuses on those language problems that touch human life rather that on the techniques and goals of current linguistics. The seventeen contributors-linguists, psychologist, anthropologists, and educators-explore those problems of language which have become urgent; problems of literacy, translation, bilingualism, language teaching, language and nationalism, and the role of dialects.
