Abstract:

In recent years there has been increased interest in examining the treatment
of language problems across different levels of society, ranging from
individual interactional issues to language policy and planning at the
national or supra-national level. Among the various approaches to tackle this
issue, Language Management Theory (LMT) provides a framework to address
behaviour towards language problems on differet levels explicitly and
comprehensively.

Using LMT as a unifying theoretical concept, the chapters in this volume
examine the links between micro and macro dimensions in their analyses of a
variety of language problems in Asian and European contexts. This body of work
illustrates that the LMT framework is able to show the characteristics of
different dimensions clearly, especially when combined with a
conceptualization of the micro and macro as a continuum of intertwining
elements. This volume will appeal both to those interested in language policy
and planning as well as those interested in interaction between speakers from
different language backgrounds.
