History of Language Planning and Policy

• Language Planning and Policy was revitalized


again mostly after the newly independent states,
in the post-colonial era, needed to reconstruct
their identity (including language) in a context of
multi-ethno-linguistic diverse populace.
For Example:

• This model aims at making most


community members alike. Sharing the
same behaviours, thoughts patterns and
certainly the same language.
Why LPP?
• Language planning and policy come to solve many problems
and conflicts in these states:
• Such as the multilingual-geographical spread that may cause
miscommunication? between people of the same nation.
• Which language is going to be selected and standardized as the
official language of these states.
Definition
• Language Planning – it is all conscious (deliberate efforts) that aim at
changing the linguistics behaviour (function, structure, or acquisition) of a
certain speech community.

• These planning is often associated with government planning, yet it can be


done by NGO or individuals.
• A language Policy is designed to favour or
discourage the use of particular language or set of
languages.

• It is done by the government officially through


legislations and policies.
Language Planning Principles:

• 1. ASSIMILATION

- This principles states that every person


within society should be fluent in that society
dominant language.
2. Lingustic Pluralism

- It is the opposite of assimilations.


- This principles teaches that it is better to
have multiple languages within society.
3. Vernacularization

• It is a principles that wants to


restore a native language into a
commonly spoken languages.
4. Internationalization

• This principles promotes adopting a non-


indigenous language in order to
communicate easily with other nations.
Stages of Language Planning

1. Selection
-It refers to the choice of a language variety
to fulfil certain functions in a given society.
2. Codification

• This creation of a linguistics standards or


norms for a selected linguistic code.
3. Implementation

• It is promoting the previous stages


(selections, codification) by making society
more exposed to this language .
4. Elaboration

• It is the stylistics development of a codified


language to meet the communicative
demands of modern life and technology.
