Description

Product Description Language policy is heterogeneous and varies according to its object, levels of intervention, purpose, participants and institutions involved, underlying language ideologies, local contexts, power relations, and historical contexts. This volume offers unique cross-cultural perspectives on language planning and policy in diverse African and Middle Eastern contexts, including South Africa, Bahrain, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Zambia, and Algeria. The African diaspora is also considered, as is the case of Brazil. By bringing together diverse contexts in Africa and the Middle East, this volume encourages a dialogue in the burgeoning scholarship on language policies in different regions of Africa and the Middle East in order to inspect the intersection between language policy discourses and their social, political, and educational functions. Review “The publication of this book is a welcome addition to a growing literature on the topic and is sure to provide a highly needed jolt to those who still need it to wake up from their “dogmatic slumber.” What stands out as we peruse the ten chapters that make up this volume is that the authors are fully aware of the importance of viewing language planning as key to offsetting the corrosive aftereffects of the legacy of colonialism that still persist, albeit in subtle and often imperceptible ways, in many of these nation states, most of them relatively recently carved out from the shambles of colonialism.”Kanavillil RajagopalanProfessor of Linguistics at the State University of Campinas, Brazil About the Author Ashraf Abdelhay is an Associate Professor of Linguistics and Arabic Lexicography at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies in Qatar.
