Abstract:

Language policy issues are imbued with a powerful symbolism that is often
linked to questions of identity, with the suppression or failure to recognise
and support a given endangered variety representing a refusal to grant a
'voice' to the corresponding ethno-cultural community. This wide-ranging
volume, which explores linguistic scenarios from across five continents, seeks
to ignite the debate as to how and whether the interface between people,
politics and language can affect the fortunes of endangered varieties. With
chapters written by academics working in the field of language endangerment
and members of indigenous communities on the frontline of language support and
maintenance, Policy and Planning for Endangered Languages is essential reading
for researchers and students of language death, sociolinguistics and applied
linguistics, as well as community members involved in native language
maintenance.
