Reviews

'In this volume, Betsy Rymes captures the advances that must be attained to democratize language use and communication: reconfigure speakers' expertise, reinforce speakers' agency, and create epistemic communities, in which language researchers and citizens participate to foreground local forms of expertise and to build common ground production of linguistic concepts, and ideologies.' Luisa Martin Rojo, Professor in Linguistics at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid
