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.
Central Europe has always been a highly multilingual region but how
has this been affected by the social and political transformations
of the last 20 years? The German language in particular has long
played a key role in processes of identification here: but what
role is the relationship between German and other languages playing
today in the reshaping of societies and communities in this rapidly
changing region? How is this relationship articulated in discourses
on language and language ideologies? How is it manifested in
individual repertoires and social practices? How is it determined
by social and cultural policies? How is it exploited in the
construction of European identities?
These are just some of the questions addressed in this book, in
which individual studies explore language practices in the
multilingual contact zones of central Europe and the impact of both
past and present migrations. Analysing a wide range of sources from
media texts to language biographies and from business meetings to
salsa classes, the authors demonstrate the local effects of global
processes and some of the many ways in which language figures in
contemporary social change.
