Front matter -- Contents -- The Contributors -- Series Overview -- Language Policy and Planning in Fiji, The Philippines and Vanuatu -- The Language Situation in Fiji -- The Language Planning Situation in the Philippines -- The Language Situation in Vanuatu

Sommario/riassunto

This volume covers the language situation in Fiji, The Philippines and Vanuatu explaining the linguistic diversity, the historical and political contexts and the current language situation, including language-in-education planning, the role of the media, the role of religion, and the roles of non-indigenous languages. The authors are indigenous and/or have been participants in the language planning context. Fiji and Vanuatu are not well represented in the international language policy/planning literature, while the section on the Philippines draws together the published literature in this area. The purpose of the volumes in this series is to present up-to-date information on polities that are not well-known to researchers in the field. A longer range purpose is to collect comparable information on as many polities as possible in order to facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities that undertake the development of a national policy on languages. This volume is part of



an areal series which is committed to providing descriptions of language planning and policy in countries around the world.
