Language policy issues are imbued with a powerful symbolism that is
often linked to questions of identity, with the suppression or
failure to recognise and support a given endangered variety
representing a refusal to grant a 'voice' to the corresponding
ethno-cultural community. This wide-ranging volume, which explores
linguistic scenarios from across five continents, seeks to ignite
the debate as to how and whether the interface between people,
politics and language can affect the fortunes of endangered
varieties. With chapters written by academics working in the field
of language endangerment and members of indigenous communities on
the frontline of language support and maintenance, Policy and
Planning for Endangered Languages is essential reading for
researchers and students of language death, sociolinguistics and
applied linguistics, as well as community members involved in
native language maintenance.
