role in creating workplace practice and relationships. Analytic tools

Language Ideological Debates

   Language-Ideological Debates presents analyses of historically
situated discursive events -- debates -- during which ideas about
language are formed, articulated, and authoritatively entextualized. The
studies cover cases as diverse as Corsica, the US, Singapore, and Congo.
Based on detailed empirical analyses, the book intends to fuel the
theoretical discussion on language, history, and society.

Alexandra Jaffe
Ideologies in Action

1999. 23 x 15,5 cm. Approx. 336 pages.
Paperback. DM 48,00/oeS 350,00/sFr 45,00/US$ 24.95

ISBN 3110164450
   In Corsica, spelling contests, road signs, bilingual education bills
and Corsican language newscasts leave language planners and ordinary
speakers deeply divided over how to define what \147counts\148 as Corsican and
how it is connected with cultural identity. In Ideologies in Action,
Alexandra Jaffe explores the complex interrelationship between
linguistic ideologies and practices on the French island of Corsica.
This detailed exploration of the ideological and political underpinnings
of three decades of language planning raises fundamental questions about
what it means to \147save\148 a minority language, and the way in which
specific cultural, political, and ideological contexts shape the
\147success\148 and \147failures\148 of linguistic engineering efforts.
