Polyglot Jerusalem.

Sirat, Collette

Language and Communication, v13 n3 p235-38 Jul 1993

Reviews "The Languages of Jerusalem" by Bernard Spolsky and Robert L. Cooper, noting that their study illustrates that simple models that do not account for relations between spoken language and society are not realistic. Chapters address the language of public notices, the spoken language of the market, and the politics of language teaching and language learning. (JP)
