The purpose of this volume is to open up new perspectives in the study of literacy by bringing together current research findings from linguistics, psychology, sociology and anthropology. The book is divided into five parts. The first part deals with theoretical questions related to the definition and the modelling of the construct of functional literacy. The second part considers the notion of literacy development. Both societal and individual aspects of literacy development are taken into account. The actual achievement of literacy in various regions of the world is dealt with in the next two parts. In part three the focus is on attaining literacy in developing societes, while part four focuses on attaining literacy in industrialized societies. The final part considers how functional literacy can be promoted through education. Starting from a cross-cultural perspective the central issue is how standards of functional literacy can be established throughout the world.
