Language Planning and Microlinguistics

Whilst earlier studies of language planning and of standardisation have tended to study macro processes, this volume is in line with more recent work aimed at bridging the macro and the micro levels by examining how the two interact and influence each other. It covers seven countries and deals with a range of sociolinguistic constellations.

This volume contributes to the language policy and planning (LPP) literature by focusing on the ways in which social actors interpret and appropriate policies in local contexts. this is a useful volume for scholars and postgraduate students of LPP.
