              Mouton de Gruyter * Berlin * New York


This book is a collection of sixteen original articles on language
planning in the wake of sociopolitical change. Each chapter covers a
different language which underwent changes due to deliberate planning
which has recently been rescinded or replaced by further planning for
sociopolitical reasons (e.g., the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, the
unification of Germany and of Vietnam, the abolition of apartheid). A
theoretical epilogue draws together the findings into a general model.
The volume contributes to the study of language and society and
language change.
