To what degree and in what ways have official mulitilingualism and multiculturalism policies actually succeeded in attaining their goals? Questioning and challenging foundational concepts, Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies highlights the extent to which governments and international bodies are unable to manage complex linguistic and cultural diversity on an effective and sustained basis. This volume examines the principles, theory, intentions, and outcomes of official policies of multilingualism at the city, regional, and national levels through a series of international case studies. The eleven chapters--most focusing on lesser-known geopolitical contexts and languages--bring to the fore the many paradoxes that underlie the concept of diversity, lived experiences of and attitudes toward linguistic and cultural diversity, and the official multilingual policies designed to legally enhance, protect, or constrain otherness. An authoritative source of new and updated information, offering fresh interpretations and analyses of evolving sociolinguistic and political phenomena in today's global world, Minority Languages, National Languages, and Official Language Policies demonstrates how language policies often fail to deal appropriately or adequately with the issues they are designed to solve."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES $x Linguistics. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Language policy $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Linguistic minorities $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Multilingualism $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Language policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00992402 650 7 $a Linguistic minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999178 650 7 $a Multilingualism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028907 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Lane-Mercier, Gillian, $e editor. 700 1 $a Merkle, Denise, $e editor. 700 1 $a Koustas, Jane, $d 1954- $e editor. 776 1 $t Minority languages, national languages, and official language policies./ $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20189042176 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F934FFE0CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
