Produktbeschreibung

This book, focused on corpus planning in language policy, provides a broad, integrative framework, and also discusses multiple languages in detail. It provides readers with great familiarity, with a wide range of language cases and at the same time gives them the theoretical tools and analysis to see how they inter-relate. "Do Not Leave Your Language Alone: The Hidden Status Agendas Within Corpus Planning in Language Policy" begins with a brief introduction to language planning as a whole, to corpus planning in particular, and to the unavoidability of a status component in the execution of all corpus planning past, present, and future. The topics of the central chapters include: Corpus planning and status planning - separates, opposites, or Siamese twins; The directions and dimensions of corpus planning; 'Does "folksiness" come before or after "cleanliness"?'; The bi-polar dimension of uniqueness vs. Westernization; The classicfization vs. "panification" bi-polar dimension; The Ausbau vs. Einbau bi-polar dimension; The interdependence and independence of dimensional clusters; and, Can opposites and incommensurables be combined?
