but it also produces benefits related
to group and individual identity. What are
the specific advantages and disadvantages of
linguistic diversity and how does it influence
social and economic progress? This book
examines linguistic diversity as a global social
phenomenon and considers what degree of
linguistic variety might result in the greatest
economic good.
Victor Ginsburgh and Shlomo Weber look
at linguistic proximity between groups and
between languages. Ihev describe and use
le economic,
guistic, anc
tools to measure diversity s impact on growth,
development, trade, the quality of institu¬
multinational
comp
ng patterns in
and the likeli-
address the choosing of core languages in a
multilingual community, such as the Europe¬
an Union, and argue that although too many
official languages might harm cohesiveness,
efficiency, and communication, reducing the
number brings about alienation and disen-
Demonstrating that the value and draw¬
backs of linguistic diversity are universal,
How Many Languages Do We Need? suggests
ways for designing appropriate linguistic poli¬
cies for today s multilingual world.
