ABSTRACT: This book contains 15 essays on the relation of
language to ethnicity, race, and culture. Although a wide

sociology of language in general. Chapter titles are: (1)

Designations for Ethnicity in Selected Books of the Old
Testament"; (3) "Bilingualism and Biculturism as Individual
and as Societal Phenomena"; (4) "Language Maintenance and
Ethnicity"; (5) "'Nothing New Under the Sun': A Case Study
of Alternatives in Language and Ethnocultural Identity";
(6) "Mother-Tongue Claiming in the United States since
1960: Trends and Correlates"; (7) "Ethnicity in Action: The
Community Resources of Ethnic Language in the United
States"; (8) "Ethnic Activists View the Ethnic Revival and
Its Language Consequence"; (9) "Language and Ethnicity in
the Periodical Publications of Four American Ethnic
Groups"; (10) "The Hispanic Press in the United States:
Content and Prospects"; (11) "The Significance of the
Ethnic-Community Mother-Tongue School"; (12) "Ethnocultural
