Abstract:

This book on language planning and policy (LPP) in the Canadian province of
Quebec begins with a review of the literature on LPP both generally and in the
Quebec context. It then draws on a mix of methods to illustrate language use
on the ground and the way in which LPP has shaped this use. Sociolinguistic
questionnaires gather information about a sample’s language repertoires and
attitudes. A documentation of the linguistic landscape (LL) provides
information about visible language in public space, and branches into the
soundscape on public transport. An ethnographic survey of customer – barista
interactions in cafés reveals language choice and code-switching in service
encounters. A psycholinguistic study on the reading of signs from the LL
informs about the ways in which laypersons notice languages in the LL. These
findings are then analysed through a comparative prism from Welsh and
Singaporean perspectives, two polities where English has also received
extensive attention from language planners. The book concludes with reflexions
on the study of LPP in contemporary settings.
