The contributors to "Language Ideologies, Policies and Practices"
investigate the workings of language ideologies in relation to
other social processes in a globalizing world. They explore in
detail the specific ways in which language ideologies underpin
language policy and the relationship between public policies and
individual practices. Particular attention is given to Europe,
where the impetus to social transformation within and across
national boundaries is in renewed tension with conflicting national
and supra-national interests, with these tensions reflected in the
complex issues of language choice and language policy.
This volume considers, at global and at local levels, the spread of
Spanish today and particularly its role in the face of processes of
globalization. Spanish is frequently the dominant language in this
contact situation. But how contested is its hegemony; and how far
does contact with it threaten other languages? How are these other,
weaker, minoritized languages prospering in a world where a few
strong, global languages may be taking over their linguistic
domains?
