Why is it important?

The book is an essential addition to the field of FLP and calls for the scope and reach of FLP to be expanded to capture the complex ways in which language practices are shaped by family configuration, perceived usefulness of language and geographic context, in particular, indigenous and autochthonous contexts, language practices, language identity, language revitalisation and endangered languages.
