Abstract:

Language in South Africa (LiSA) debates the role of language and
language planning in the reconstruction, development and
transformation of post-apartheid democratic South Africa. The 1996
constitution of South Africa is founded on the political philosophy of
pluralism and is directed at promoting democratic values, equity and
non-discrimination, human rights, national unity and the development
of all the country's communities. The question asked in LiSA is how
language planning can contribute towards the attainment of these
national ideals. Set against the language political realities of the
country -- the a-symmetric power relations between the languages; the
striking differences in the structural; functional and symbolic
adaptation of the official languages; and the many language-related
problems in the country -- it debates the role of language in state
administration, national integration, educational development and
economic development. The volume concludes with a discussion of
language development and language management.
