Over the last fifty years, language policy has developed into a
major discipline, drawing on research and practice in many nations
and at many levels. This is the first Handbook to deal with
language policy as a whole and is a complete 'state-of-the-field'
survey, covering language practices, beliefs about language
varieties, and methods and agencies for language management. It
provides a historical background which traces the development of
classical language planning, describes activities associated with
indigenous and endangered languages, and contains chapters on
imperialism, colonialism, effects of migration and globalization,
and educational policy. It also evaluates language management
agencies, analyzes language activism and looks at language
cultivation (including reform of writing systems, orthography and
modernized terminology). The definitive guide to the subject, it
will be welcomed by students, researchers and language
professionals in linguistics, education and politics.
