This chapter examines language planning and policy in Singaporean late
modernity. It discusses Singaporean language policy's attempts to
manage the tension between modernity and tradition and argues that a
sociolinguistic ordering around notions of ethnicity and nation does
not fit easily with the multilingual dynamics of late modern
societies. It contends that Singapore's language policy needs to
appreciate that patterns of multilingualism are increasingly
constructed around the dynamics of language choice and change in terms
of a logic of lifestyle consumption.
