| dc.description.abstract | English has become central to global knowledge production. But what does the reliance of English mean for the world? The monograph challenges the monopoly of English as metalanguage and proposes instead a "Postcolonial Semantics". Through original semantic work on urban Pacific words and meanings, this framework takes a critical cultural semantic look at key themes in the fields of language, communication, sociology, psychology and geopolitics. | |
