Add to ORKGDevelopment in non-Anglo-European peripheral societies and minority communities continues to be dominated by an updated but resistant discourse of modernization, and by the expectation that development depends on English.

We will illustrate our theoretical argument with examples drawn from our ongoing research on language in development in the Solomon Islands over the past three decades
