Abstract:

Language politics in the new global era presents policymakers with significant
ethical challenges. How should the reality of English as a global language
influence the normative considerations underpinning national language
policies? What moral arguments justify the imposition of national languages in
an era of increased immigration and ethnolinguistic diversity? What role is
there for non-dominant varieties in a globalised world? Building on the
emerging notion of 'normative language policy', this book proposes an
integrated framework for the study of such questions, combining recent
normative work on language in political theory and philosophy with
empirically-derived insight from the fields of sociolinguistics and applied
linguistics. The case of Quebec forms the backdrop of the study, providing a
particularly illuminating setting for investigating the common moral
challenges that face contemporary polities seeking to maintain distinct
linguistic identities, in an irreducibly diverse world increasingly dominated
by English as a global lingua franca.
