Language and Culture

Global Flows and Local Complexity

About this book

The book presents a new theory of the relationship between language and culture in a transnational and global perspective. The fundamental view is that languages spread across cultures, and cultures spread across languages, or in other words, that linguistic and cultural practices flow through social networks in the world along partially different paths and across national structures and communities.

on 
language 
as
an

expression 
of

individual’s 
intuition

imagination, 
ideas
that 
can 
be 
traced
