Technical Expertise With Heart,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Minimalist Approach to Intrasentential Code Switching (Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics) (Hardcover)
MacSwan's work is often technical, but ground-breaking. Not only does he advance discussions of the phenomenon known as "code-switching," but he ties it into educational theory in ways that illustrate the non-trivial nature of technical discussions. In fact, educational practices that affect the lives of students, are not independent of the theoretical assumptions made by educators. MacSwan, who is now a leading figure in both theoretical linguistics and bi-lingual education, makes this clear. I recommend it to all who are interested in bilingual education and the politics of education. Some background in formal linguistics will hep the reader through the more technical portions of the volume.
