En 2011, Le Bon Usage fête ses 75 ans. L'occasion d'apporter, avec cette 15e édition, une nouvelle mise à jour. Le Bon Usage, c'est LA grammaire de l'usage à travers l'observation constante d'une langue vivante toujours en évolution, et non un ensemble de règles rigides et unilatérales. C'est pour cela qu'elle regorge de citations régulièrement mises à jour, tirées d'oeuvres littéraires et de la presse. Le Bon Usage, c'est LA grammaire de référence, celle qui apporte une réponse à toutes les difficultés que l'on peut rencontrer en français. Toute en nuances, jamais elle n'impose ; elle suggère, en donnant les différents usages suffisamment courants pour être agréés. Tant de raisons qui en font la grammaire incontournable des utilisateurs les plus exigeants de la langue française : écrivains, correcteurs, traducteurs, journalistes, rédacteurs, professeurs de français... Le Bon Usage, c'est aussi un tout nouveau site Internet.

In the global economy, linguistic diversity influences economic and political development as well as public policies in positive and negative ways. It leads to financial costs, communication barriers, divisions in national unity, and, in some extreme cases, conflicts and war--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. They describe and use simple economic, linguistic, and statistical tools to measure diversity's impact on growth, development, trade, the quality of institutions, translation issues, voting patterns in multinational competitions, and the likelihood and intensity of civil conflicts. They address the choosing of core languages in a multilingual community, such as the European Union, and argue that although too many official languages might harm cohesiveness, efficiency, and communication, reducing their number brings about alienation and disenfranchisement of groups. Demonstrating that the value and drawbacks of linguistic diversity are universal, How Many Languages Do We Need? suggests ways for designing appropriate linguistic policies for today's multilingual world.
