Notes: This chapter considers the main debates regarding the underlying causes of language shift and seeks to test their validity in relation to a number of contexts in Borneo. One of the main issues to arise is that of applying theory that has been developed mainly in 'bi'lingual situations to those where 'multi'lingualism is the norm.
