Dear Linguists,
On May 25 I posted a query asking for recommendations which textbook to use for a language planning and language policy class which I had to teach for the first time. The following collegues sent valuable information (listed in alphabetical order): E. Aito E. Diaz Couder C. S. Dogancay-Aktuna A. F. Gupta R. Hallett M. Hoffmann M. Hutz J.-E. Jahn B. Jernudd H. Koch T. McClive F. Pfalzgraf M. Ronkin A. Sarhimaa H. Schiffman S. Tulloch G. Zuckermann Thanks very much to all! The amount of information which I received would be by far too much for this summary as I did not only receive information about suitable textbooks for a language planning and language policy class, but also a lot of other good information as for further readings for the class (list of references, webpages,etc.). As for the textbook, the recommendations basically came down to the following 6 titles (listed in alphabetical order): - Ager, Dennis, 2001, Motivation in Language Planning and Language Policy - Calvet, Louis-Jean, 1998, Language Wars and Linguistic Politics - Cooper, Robert L., 1989, Language Planning and Social Change - Eastman, Carol M., 1983, Language Planning: An Introduction - Kaplan, Robert B., and Richard B. Baldauf Jr., 1997, Language Planning: >From Theory to Practice - Schiffman, Harold F., 1996, Lingustic Culture and Language Policy I went for the Ager book as I think it is most appropriate for an introductory class in language planning and language policy. Ager successfully introduces the reader to lp & lp and, at the same time, encourages the reader always to look for the main motives behind lp & lp. After having worked with this book during the last semester I can highly recommend it for such a class and would definitvely use it again, if I had to teach the same class again. I hope that this information is useful and I would be happy to offer any additional help to those who have any further questions. My thanks again to those who helped me, and I hope this in turn helps others. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2003!
