Abstract

This paper will examine the chances and limitations of successful
language policy, exemplified by a close look at the language situation
in Canada, to answer the question of to what extend language policy
can be a helpful means to support biculturalism and bilingualism in a
heterogeneous society. In order to do so, this paper will present an
outline of the history of as well as the social situation in Canada,
and give definitions of crucial terms. Then it will dwell on federal
and provincial language policies as well as on education issues. The
afterwards worked out possible parallels between both will eventually
lead to a conclusion about the chances of successful realization of an
advanced multicultural society through language policy. As Canadian
language policy is designed to almost exclusively effect the status of
English and French, this paper will focus on the language conflict
between these two languages and only shortly touch the topic of
non-official and native languages.
