Abstract:

This book offers both an empirical examination of language ideologies
and language policies in post-Arab Spring Tunisia and a detailed
critical and interdisciplinary model of Language Policy and Planning
(LPP). The authors present a comprehensive picture of how multiple
language ideologies interact and play out as language policy against a
background of political turmoil in a country with a complex history of
indigenous and colonial languages. They utilise critical perspectives
from Sociolinguistics and Applied Linguistics and add Critical
Discourse Studies and a Discourse-Historical Approach to produce a
model of LPP for scholars in other settings to describe and work to
improve their own specific language contexts.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
