The Making of Monolingual Japan: Language Ideology and Japanese Modernity - Multilingual Matters
Patrick Heinrich
Japan is regarded as a model case of successful language modernization. It is also often erroneously believed to be linguistically homogenous. This book explores the debates relating to language modernization from a language ideology perspective, and in doing so reveals the mechanisms by which language ideology undermines linguistic diversity.
