FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

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.

Notes

1 Language policy and globalization is one of the fastest growing areas for both teaching and research in Sociolinguistics. Every student will come across these issues2 The contributors are all leading scholars in the field; the US contributors reflect the interest in the US in European minority language issues3 Well organized collection which raises central theoretical principles first and then shows how these are played out within specific language situations4 Builds on political interest in the expansion of the EU and associated national/transnational tensions, so feeds into political discussion on nation building and ethnicities as well as into the specifically linguistic concerns
