For the past fifty years, the dominant model has been the hegemonic model whereby a language of wider communication (LWC) is imposed on minority languages. It is now time for a paradigm shift in favor of a more egalitarian model in which all the languages spoken in the same country, irrespective of their size, are planned. The paradigm shift concerns four critical areas: status planning, cost-benefit planning, acquisition planning, and corpus planning. Such a shift is justified for the following reasons: First, the hegemonic model has a dismal track record of success in Africa and elsewhere. Second, the hegemonic model exacerbates linguistic conflicts in many countries. Consequently, policy makers shun it for fear of jeopardizing the fragile social fabric in their respective countries. Last, a shift away from the hegemonic model is recommended because it is too costly to implement. The "democratic model" is undergirded by the Strategic Game Theory proposed by David Laitin. It forecasts a 3±1 language outcome for most African countries. This outcome supports the "three language formula" now called for by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). 410 0$aContributions to the sociology of language ;$v101. 606 $aLanguage planning$zAfrica 606 $aLanguage policy$zAfrica 606 $aSociolinguistics$zAfrica 610 $aAfrican studies. 610 $aAnthropological linguistics. 610 $aEmerging literacies. 610 $aEndangered languages. 610 $aLanguage planning. 610 $aLanguage policy. 610 $aMultilingualism. 610 $aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aLanguage planning 615 0$aLanguage policy 615 0$aSociolinguistics 676 $a306.44/96 700 $aKoffi$b Ettien N'da$f1963-$01570800 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779093203321 996 $aParadigm shift in language planning and policy$93844710 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05601nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910735383103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781430249849 010 $a1430249846 024 7 $a10.1007/978-1-4302-4984-9 035 $a(OCoLC)836746547 035 $a(MiFhGG)GVRL6VSO 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781430249832 035 $a(OCoLC)844971515 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn844971515 035 $a(CKB)3460000000120367 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1204530 035 $a(EXLCZ)993460000000120367 100 $a20130419d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun|---uuuua 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCSS for Windows 8 app development /$fJeremy Foster 205 $a1st ed. 2013. 210 $aBerkeley, Calif $cApress$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (xxii, 290 pages) $cillustrations (some color) 225 0 $aExpert's voice in Windows 8 CSS for Windows 8 app development 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a9781430249832 311 08$a1430249838 327 $aTitle Page; Copyright Page; Dedication Page; Contents at a Glance; Table of Contents; About the Author; About the Technical Reviewer; Acknowledgments; Introduction; CHAPTER 1 Windows 8 Design; Windows Reimagined; Traits of Great Windows 8 App Design; Use Microsoft Design Style; Navigation; Three-tier navigation; Hub; Section; Detail; Flat navigation; Interactions; Layout; Be Fast and Fluid; Snap and Scale Beautifully; Use the Right Contracts; Invest in a Great Tile; Feel Connected and Alive; Roam to the Cloud; Follow the Design Principles; Microsoft Design Principles 327 $aShow Pride in CraftsmanshipDo More with Less; Be Fast and Fluid; Be Authentically Digital; Win as One; Design Scenario; Scope; Usage Scenarios; Summary; CHAPTER 2 Introduction to Windows 8 Development; Windows 8 Architecture; Tools; Visual Studio 2012; Project Templates; The Blank Template; Why Choose a Blank Project?; The Navigation Template; Why Choose a Navigation Project?; The Grid Template; Why Choose a Grid Project?; DOM Explorer; Debugging; Blend; Distributing Your App; Sideloading; Publishing to the Windows Store; Summary; CHAPTER 3 Selectors and Style Rules; Style Format and Location 327 $aInline StylesEmbedded Style Sheets; External Style Sheets; Basic Style Rule Syntax; Selectors; Type Selectors; Class Selectors; ID Selectors; Attribute Selectors; Pseudo-class and Pseudo-element Selectors; :root; ::first-letter; :checked; ::before, ::after, and content; :required; ::-ms-expand; ::-ms-browse; Positional pseudo-classes; :target; :not( ); Combinators; Descendent; Child; General sibling; Adjacent sibling; Selector Groups; Style Definition; Shorthand Properties; Property Values; Cascading Order, Specificity, and Scope; Cascading; Specificity; Scope; Media Queries; Summary 327 $aCHAPTER 4 Text PropertiesText; Color and opacity; Named Colors; Hex Colors; RGB Colors; HSL Colors; Opacity; Fonts and Text Styles; font-style; font-variant; font-weight; font-size; line-height; font-family; font shorthand property; text-transform; Text Decoration; font-face; Microsoft vendor specific text properties; Alignment and justification; Columns; column-width and column-count; column-gap and column-rule; column-fill; Samples of Multiple Columns; List Styles; Hyphenation; -ms-hyphens; -ms-hyphenate-limit-zone; -ms-hyphenate-limit-chars; -ms-hyphenate-limit-lines; Summary 327 $aCHAPTER 5 Box PropertiesThe Box Model; Sizing; Overflow; Visibility; Margin; Borders; Padding; Background; background-color; background-image; background-size; background-repeat; background-position; background-origin; background-clip; background-attachment; Gradients; Shadow; Summary; CHAPTER 6 Transforms, Transitions, and Animation Properties; Transforms; Transform functions; perspective; perspective-origin; backface-visibility; transform-origin; transform-style; transform; 2D transform functions; rotate(); scale(); skew(); translate(); matrix(); 3D transform functions; perspective() 327 $arotate3d() 330 $aCSS for Windows 8 App Development is your learning guide for CSS ? the language of great Windows 8-style apps. Learn the built-in styles that make the built-in controls shine, how to define them, and how to use CSS to give your custom app assets that beautiful Modern UI style. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the clear standard for styling web applications, and with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript now powering apps on Windows 8, it?s the clear standard there as well. CSS is a powerful styling and layout language that greatly simplifies the selection of page elements and their visual display, layout, and animation. Additionally, Windows 8 apps appear on a large variety of screen formats, and CSS is the primary means for uniquely defining these layouts.
