Environmental Innovation and Firm Performance - by Javier Amores Salvadó & Kenneth A Loparo (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The authors explore some of the ways in which standardization, ideology and linguistics are interrelated. Through a number of case studies they show how concepts such as grammaticality and structural change covertly rely on a false conceptualization of language, one that derives ultimately from standardization.
