Abstract:

This book brings together current research by leading international scholars
on
the often contentious nature of language policies and their practical
outcomes in
North America, Australia and Europe. It presents a range of perspectives
from
which to engage with a variety of pressing issues raised by multilingualism,

multiculturalism, immigration, exclusion, and identity. A recurrent theme is
that
of tension and conflict: between uniformity and diversity, between official
policies and real day-to-day life experiences, but also between policies in
schools and the corporate world and their implementation. Several chapters
present research about language policy issues that has previously not been
fully
or easily available to an English-language audience. Many of the chapters
also
provide up-to-date analyses of language policy issues in particular regions
or
countries, focusing on recent developments.

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
