Employing an approach informed by language ecology and linguistic ethnography, Exploring Multilingual Hawai?i examines situated language usage and underlying ideological beliefs to explore and understand Hawai?i’s multilingualism. This book begins with a description of the ideologies that developed as a result of contact with the West and then offers analyses that concentrate specifically on the roles of Hawaiian, Pidgin, Japanese, and the languages of Micronesia, and also the occurrence of language mixing in Hawaiian society. Scott Saft’s discussion and analysis underscore how continued exploration of language usage in Hawai?i can contribute to our general understanding of multilingualism as a dynamic phenomenon.

This book will be relevant for academics interested in the intersection of language and social justice and languages in Hawai?i, but it should also be of interest to undergraduate and especially graduate students in sociolinguistics, language revitalization and language documentation, discourse analysis, applied linguistics, and pragmatics.

Emancipatory Pragmatics represents a unique contribution to the field of pragmatics. Most research in the field has focused on English and other Western languages, but the study of Japanese and other non-Western languages, as is done in this volume, has led to a broader understanding of language use. Here, thirteen articles each break new ground by discussing the application of ba theory to pragmatics research. Ba and basho, which are Japanese terms often translated as “field” or “context”, are central to expanding the theory of pragmatics to explain features not only of non-Western languages, but of all languages. By presenting an introduction to the perspective of Emancipatory Pragmatics, and discussing ba theory in detail, it becomes obvious that this is an innovative approach to questions relevant for the study of all languages. Thus, it is useful both for students new to the field, as well as for seasoned researchers.
