This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the attempts of
language experts and governments to control language use and
development in Eastern Europe, Eurasia and China through planned
activities generally known as language planning or language policy.
The ten case studies presented here examine language planning in
China, Russia, Tatarstan, Central Asia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia,
Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and focus in particular on
developments and disputes that have occurred since the 'fall of
communism' and the emergence of a new order in the late 1980s. Its
authors highlight the dominant issues with which language planning
is invariably intertwined. These include power politics, tensions
between 'official language' and 'minority languages', and the
effects of a country's particular political, social, cultural and
psychological environment. Offering a detailed account of the
socio-political and ideological developments that underlie language
planning in these regions, this book will provide a valuable
resource for students and scholars of linguistics, cultural
studies, political science, sociology and history.
