Description
Language Choice in a Nation Under Transition provides an in-depth analysis of English language spread throughout Cambodia during a pivotal period of national development and reform. The book investigates how linguistic choices reflect broader social, economic, and political changes within Cambodian society.
Thomas Clayton examines the factors driving English language adoption among Cambodian populations, including globalization, educational reform, and economic opportunities. The work situates English language spread within Cambodia’s unique historical and cultural context, considering both the opportunities and challenges presented by increased English usage.
As part of the Language Policy series, this volume contributes to academic discourse on language policy in developing nations and provides valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and linguists interested in Southeast Asian language dynamics and the global spread of English in non-native contexts.
