Abstract:

This provocative defense of language diversity works through the strengths and
weaknesses of liberal political theory to inform language policy. The book
presents the argument that policy must occupy the space between 'linguistics
of community' and 'linguistics of contact' in a way that balances individual
autonomy and group recognition while not reifying 'language'. Drawing on the
importance of the language/identity link, the author distinguishes between
language negative liberalism and language positive liberalism, arguing against
the former. This distinction orients consideration of increasingly specific
language policy issues, such as official languages, language rights, bilingual
education, and uses of language varieties within classrooms.
