Abstract:

This volume considers the ways in which modernity challenges and informsthe language policies of various Southeast Asians nations. Using casestudies from Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, theauthors examine language policies that are explicitly articulated eitherin the form of State constitutions or in the public proclamations ofpolitical leaders.

Particular attention is paid to the ways in which English often seems asthe language of globalization, impacts the status of indigenous SoutheastAsian language.

Language Policy and Modernity in Southeast Asia will be of interest toresearchers in both language policy and contemporary political theory.
