3 questions (Are standard languages hegemonic forms to be opposed?) #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 24, 2008 23:42 pm   3 questions (Are standard languages hegemonic forms to be opposed?)
 

Three interesting questions from Tony Bex & Richard J. Watts (eds), Standard English: the widening debate. London: Routledge. 1999

1. Are standard languages hegemonic forms to be opposed?

2. Are standard languages hegemonic forms to be acquired?

3. Does access to standard language give people greater social and economic mobility, or is this another myth associated with standard languages?

How would you tackle them?

Don't understand the reference of the latter "no". What is it? And which part of the sentence does "yes" refer to?

Your third question consists of two questions.
