Epistemological and Theoretical Foundations in Language Policy and Planning (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances the growing area of language policy and planning (LPP) by examining the epistemological and theoretical foundations that engendered and sustain the field, drawing on insights and approaches from anthropology, linguistics, economics, political science, and education to create an accessible and inter-disciplinary overview of LPP as a coherent discipline. Throughout the book, the authors address LPP from different perspectives, exploring the interface between planning in theory and its practical problems in implementation. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars with an interest in LPP in particular, and educational, social, and public policy more broadly.

Rezensionen

"The book is a recent addition to the literature on language policy and planning (LPP), encapsulating diverse academic perspectives offered in this rich field of inquiry while highlighting contemporary LPP concerns and themes. ... The reader will find the transdisciplinary approach defended in the book fruitful for advancing their knowledge of LPP. Overall, the book is an important contribution to guiding research and practice attempts to address LPP challenges by contextualising the attempts within informed epistemological and theoretical foundations." (Hossein Davari and Saeed Nourzadeh, Current Issues in Language Planning, May 14, 2024)

"The book makes a significant contribution to the field of LPP, with valuable insights and roadmaps for further research. It will certainly heighten the awareness of both newcomers to the field and policy-makers." (Weiping Wu, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, August 28, 2023)
