The language empowerment discourse : case studies of language policy and language planning in Africa. 330 $aThe present volume grew out of the 30th International LAUD Symposium, held on April 19-22, 2004 at the University of Koblenz-Landau in Landau, Germany. The conference, "Empowerment through Language", was centrally concerned with the concept of power and/or empowerment as observed in the status and use of language(s) and their speakers in bilingual and multilingual communities. The book discusses the theoretical issues inherent in the relation between language and power, the empowerment strategies involved in language policy and language planning situations, and the issue of language endangerment in Africa, i.e., the fate of minority languages and their speakers and the sociopolitical factors perpetuating their exclusion from access to knowledge and skills. The volume constitutes a collection of papers by prominent linguists from many countries who explore the exciting interdisciplinary area of language, power, and linguistic empowerment. Broadly speaking, the papers focus on the theoretical and sociolinguistic problems related to the role of power in language policy and language planning situations in multilingual settings, language choices, code switches, and associated topics. Thus, the aim of the volume is to open up language policy and language planning issues as observed in multilingual contexts (nations, institutions, other settings, and domains) to the wider community of critical sociolinguistics by concentrating on the relationship between language and power. More particularly, it offers a decidedly sociolinguistic perspective to the study of language and power, which likewise has been tackled from other perspectives in the areas of sociology and political science. This interdisciplinary relationship is important both for linguistics and for the sociology of language. In this way, the book is an important contribution to general linguistics, sociolinguistics, minority issues in multilingual settings as well as the social sciences. In honor of his upcoming 80th birthday (2006) , Fishman's colleagues and former students are preparing five volumes by him or about him, this being one of them. 410 0$aContributions to the sociology of language ;$v92. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aSociolinguistics$zAfrica 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 606 $aLanguage policy 606 $aLanguage planning 610 $aSociolinguistics. 610 $aintercultural communication. 610 $alanguage planning. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aSociolinguistics 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aLanguage policy. 615 0$aLanguage planning. 676 $a306.44 686 $aES 129$2rvk 701 $aPu?tz$b Martin$f1955-$0388884 701 $aFishman$b Joshua A$0127036 701 $aNeff-van Aertselaer$b JoAnne$01466097 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788551903321 996 $aAlong the routes to power$93676400 997 $aUNINA
