Article ID Journal Published Year Pages File Type

Abstract
The paper examines two attempts to offer a demythologised account of language (by Tony Crowley in Standard English and the Politics of Language and Peter Trudgill in Language Myths), and concludes that both theorists fall victim to the `language myth' identified by integrationists.
