  Book: Multilingualism for Empowerment
 *Multilingualism for Empowerment*, the newest book in the Van Schaik
series "Studies in Language Policy in South Africa" is now available (
http://www.vanschaik.com/ebook/52d42b9c73131/).
************************************************************
Multilingualism for Empowerment--Studies in language policy in South Africa

This 9th edition of the Studies in Language Policy in South Africa series
follows on the 2012 MIDP Symposium, "Multilingualism for Empowerment", held
on the QwaQwa campus of the University of the Free State on 11-12 September
2012. It includes the proceedings of a selection of papers, both from local
and international scholars.
The objective of the symposium was to draw together scholars from different
fields and countries that work in the broad area of language in South
Africa or study multilingual policies and practices which fit the
confer-ence theme in other regions or countries. The South African
legislative framework for language provides for a mixed approach towards
institutionalised multilingualism. It is becoming increasingly obvious that
the re-quired language legislation, policies and regulations are not
efficiently implemented as English is fast be-coming the de facto official
and national language. Nevertheless, studies on language practices at
grass-roots level in South Africa do point to empowering policy-making
initiatives that take cognisance of societal multilingualism and which
benefit citizens. It is the contention of the contributors to this book
that from a lan-guage interventionist perspective these local solutions are
often not taken into account when top-down poli-cies are formulated and
approaches to language regulation developed. It may be argued that a more
coher-ent approach to institutionalised multilingualism will contribute to
the empowerment of citizens at grassroots level and to the broadening of
democracy.
This book presents important insights into language issues in education
(both on school and tertiary level), service delivery, language ideology
and politics, onomastics and legal aspects of language. Scholars in the
field will find it useful and the insights offered stimulating.
