It explains step-by-step how to organise the evaluation of language regimes and how to design and interpret indicators for such evaluation. The second part of this book applies the theoretical framework to the evaluation of the language policy of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) division of the World Intellectual Property 410 0$aMultilingualism and diversity management ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aLanguage policy$zEurope 606 $aLinguistic minorities$zEurope 606 $aMultilingualism$zEurope 606 $aMulticultural education$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguage policy 615 0$aLinguistic minorities 615 0$aMultilingualism 615 0$aMulticultural education 676 $a306.44/94 700 $aGazzola$b Michele$0301499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465443103321 996 $aThe evaluation of language regimes$92443494 997 $aUNINA
