Book excerpt: Khubchandani (Center for Communication Studies, Pune) sets out a new agenda which probes the contours of plurality consciousness in studies of language, focusing on the strengths of complementary orientations. He makes a case for moving away from the monolith of language traditions to a framework that places the boundaries of speech spectrums in a fluid transactional mode, and looks at the dynamics of language as an institution, highlighting the nonlinear characteristics of natural language. For those involved with sociolinguistics, linguistic theory, and cultural studies. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
