Abstract
The ecology of language has been put forward as a useful orientation
to the holistic investigation of multilingual language policies
because it draws attention to relationships among speakers, languages,
policies, and social contexts at varying dimensions of social
organization. As such, it is an orientation that stands to facilitate
the integration of micro- and macro-sociolinguistic inquiry in
language policy and planning (LPP); however, it is not a method. An
ecological orientation requires the application of specific methods in
order to achieve a holistic picture of an LPP situation. To this end,
the present article explores how recent discourse analytic theories
and methods that focus on ways in which discursive processes operate
within and across space and time are especially well suited to the
ecological objective of understanding relationships between language
policies and the social actions of individuals.
