The Sociolinguistics of Higher Education “This timely book offers a compelling account of the tensions between internationalisation and national priorities in higher education – as seen through Catalan language policies. Written by renowned experts in the field, it is a must read for researchers, policy makers and anyone even remotely interested in the profound sociolinguistic changes higher education systems across the world are grappling with.” —Anna Kristina Hultgren, Senior Lecturer in English Language and Applied Linguistics, The Open University, UK “Essential and stimulating reading for anyone studying the language impacts of internationalisation in higher education institutions in non-anglophone and minority language contexts. Through their critical, constructive and insightful analyses of original data from a university in Catalonia, the authors show us the tensions arising from the competition between Catalan, Spanish and English amidst national and global goals, and weigh up the position of the Catalan language and its prospects.” —Peter Garrett, Emeritus Professor, School of English, Communication and Philosophy, Cardiff University, UK
