Abstract:

Japan is widely regarded as a model case of successful language 
modernization, and it is often erroneously believed to be linguistically 
homogenous. There is a connection between these two views. As the first ever 
non-Western language to be modernized, Japanese language modernizers 
needed to convince the West that Japanese was just as good a language as the 
national languages of the West. The result was a fervent desire for linguistic 
uniformity. Today the legacy of modernist language ideology poses many 
problems to an internationalizing Japan. All indigenous minority languages are 
heading towards extinction, and this purposefully created homogeneity also 
affects the integration of immigrants and their languages. This book examines 
these issues from the perspective of language ideology, and in doing so the 
mechanisms by which language ideology undermines linguistic diversity are 
revealed.
