Most academic work in language planning has focused on national and
governmental activities relating to language - macro language
planning. Language problems potentially exist at all levels of
human activity, including the local contexts of communities and
institutions - micro language planning. Micro language planning
occurs in both formal and informal contexts and is based in and
around the everyday language needs and aspirations of communities
and institutions. Micro language planning also articulates with
macro language planning: local language problems can provide the
impetus for national level action and national level planning needs
to be implemented at the local level and local needs and conditions
shape implementation. This volume examines the ways in which
language planning works as a local activity in a wide variety of
contexts around the world and dealing with a wide range of language
planning issues: corpus planning, language in education planning
prestige planning, and status planning.
