This volume focuses on language planning in Cyprus, Iceland and
Luxembourg, explaining the linguistic diversity, historical and
political contexts and current language situation (including
language-in-education planning), the role of the media, the role of
religion and the roles of non-indigenous languages. The authors are
indigenous to the situations described, and draw on their
experience and extensive fieldwork there. The three extended case
studies contained in this volume draw together the literature on
each of the polities to present an overview of the existing
research available, while also providing new research-based
information. The purpose of this volume is to provide an up-to-date
overview of the language situation in each polity based on a series
of key questions, in the hope that this might facilitate the
development of a richer theory to guide language policy and
planning in other polities where similar issues may arise. This
book comprises case studies originally published in the journal
Current Issues in Language Planning.
