Description
States of Language Policy: Theorizing Continuity and Change provides a comprehensive exploration of language policy as a dynamic field of study. Edited by Ericka Albaugh, Linda Cardinal, and Rémi Léger, this Cambridge University Press publication brings together leading scholars to analyze the theoretical dimensions of language policy formation and evolution.
The book investigates how nation-states develop, implement, and revise language policies while balancing competing interests and cultural identities. It addresses fundamental questions about linguistic rights, official language designations, and minority language protection. Through case studies and theoretical analysis, the authors demonstrate how language policies reflect broader political, social, and economic transformations.
Essential for scholars in sociolinguistics, political science, and policy studies, this volume offers critical insights into the mechanisms of language policy change and the factors that enable institutional continuity within diverse multilingual contexts.
