Can Language be Planned [Libby eBook] : Sociolinguistic Theory for Developing Nations. University of Hawaii Press, 2019. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. HTML:<p>This pioneer study goes well beyond the subject of linguistics to encompass economic, sociological, political, and educational approaches to language change. In the context of the development of national resources, the book focuses on <i>language planning</i>—the deliberate change and promotion of language structure and language use. It outlines a theoretical approach to the study of language planning and includes selected case studies which demonstrate the possibilities of broadening and improving national planning by taking linguistic and human resources into explicit account to enhance forecasting.<br /> The contributors to this volume include highly renowned experts in their respective academic fields as well as actual language planners. They were brought together on the instigation of a study group on language-planning processes sponsored by the East-West Center, University of Hawaii, with Ford Foundation support. <i>Can Language Be Planned?</i> is one result of their joint studies. An on-going cross-national research project on language-planning processes at Stanford University is another.</p>. Language Arts. Nonfiction. Media Type: eBook.
