The book explores the intersection of Bourdieu's linguistic market theory with contemporary sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. It presents a critical analysis of global English, focusing on how speakers ascribe value and social significance to the language. Through this lens, the authors delve into the complex dynamics of language use and its implications for identity and social interaction in a globalized world.
