US$ 141.00 ISBN 3-11-015509-5 Contributions to the Sociology of Language 78 Mouton de Gruyter * Berlin * New York This book is a collection of sixteen original articles on language planning in the wake of sociopolitical change. Each chapter covers a different language which underwent changes due to deliberate planning which has recently been rescinded or replaced by further planning for sociopolitical reasons (e.g., the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, the unification of Germany and of Vietnam, the abolition of apartheid). A theoretical epilogue draws together the findings into a general model. The volume contributes to the study of language and society and language change.
