Beschreibung
“This book masterfully maps the development and current lines of research on Language Policy and Planning. It will certainly help readers to navigate in this particularly complex field, and to understand why language policies are often at the core of quite sensitive political conflicts.” - Roberto Garvía, Professor of Sociology, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
“This is an outstanding contribution in the field of language policy and planning. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of key concepts, terms, and controversies in an accessible style that will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners for years to come.” - Thomas Ricento, Professor Emeritus, University of Calgary, Canada
This book advances the growing area of language policy and planning (LPP) by examining the epistemological and theoretical foundations that engendered and sustain the field, drawing on insights and approaches from anthropology, linguistics, economics, political science, and education to create an accessible and inter-disciplinary overview of LPP as a coherent discipline. Throughout the book, the authors addressLPP from different perspectives, exploring the interface between planning in theory and its practical problems in implementation. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in LPP in particular, and educational, social, and public policy more broadly.

“The book is a recent addition to the literature on language policy and planning (LPP), encapsulating diverse academic perspectives offered in this rich field of inquiry while highlighting contemporary LPP concerns and themes. … The reader will find the transdisciplinary approach defended in the book fruitful for advancing their knowledge of LPP. Overall, the book is an important contribution to guiding research and practice attempts to address LPP challenges by contextualising the attempts within informed epistemological and theoretical foundations.” (Hossein Davari and Saeed Nourzadeh, Current Issues in Language Planning, May 14, 2024)
