In Ideologies in Action, Alexandra Jaffe explores the complex interrelationship between linguistic ideologies and practices on the French island of Corsica. This detailed exploration of the ideological and political underpinnings of three decades of language planning raises fundamental questions about what it means to \147save\148 a minority language, and the way in which specific cultural, political, and ideological contexts shape the \147success\148 and \147failures\148 of linguistic engineering efforts.
