Review of The dynamics of Sango language spread, by Mark Karan
Samarin, William J.. - : John Benjamins Publishing, 2007
Abstract: This work is under copyright: the publisher should be contacted for permission to re-use or reprint this material in any form. ; The spread of a language is nothing more than its being acquired as a language supplementary to the one learned in childhood (the so-called mother tongue), which increases the linguistic repertoire of speakers. The term usually applies to geographical spread, although it can be ascribed to parts of a population or linguistic community. One can speak, therefore, of the spread of English, not only as the consequence of colonization, but also along with the globalization of politics and economics in which the United States came to play a major role since World War II. It is natural that a spreading language is frequently also a lingua franca, one that is a natural language or a pidginized variety of a natural language (see Samarin, 1987).
