Language Policy and Linguistic Planning

About this book

This book, Language Policy and Linguistic Planning, by Dr. Prafull D. Kulkarni, offers a comprehensive exploration of language policy and its planning in academics as well as in administrative circles, which addresses various aspects and strategies involved in managing and developing languages within diverse sociocultural contexts.Modern Language Policy and Linguistic Planning encompasses several key areas, including language standardization, preservation, and education. Standardization efforts focus on creating uniformity in language use, often through developing official grammar, dictionaries, and spelling systems. This is particularly important in multilingual societies, where linguistic diversity can lead to communication barriers. For example, in countries like India and Nigeria, standardization helps unify diverse linguistic communities under a common framework for education and administration.Education policies all around do play a significant role in the development and implementation of the language policy and its planning, as language instructions influence the literacy and cognitive development of the learners. Multilingual education policies, which incorporate local languages alongside global languages, are increasingly being adopted to improve educational outcomes and respect linguistic diversity. Countries like India, Switzerland and Canada, with their multilingual policies, provide models for integrating multiple languages into the educational system.The present book by Dr. Prafull D. Kulkarni is an endeavour to acquaint with readers and scholars with the basic knowledge and in-depth perspectives of learning in the academic as well as the significance of forming the language learning policies in its administrative realms. The author and the publisher of this book will be delighted to contribute more on this topic and address a few more issues relating to the implementation of the policies mentioned herein. We hope that the book is quite useful to the students and scholars of the domain to add to their knowledge and enhance their skills further in the domain.
