Language Policy (Table 2)

• In Event: Meet the Journal Editors 1

Abstract

"Language Policy publishes empirically driven research that examines language policymaking processes and practices by governments, non-governmental organizations, public and private institutions, community organizations, families, and other entities. It also pays attention to attempts made by minoritized groups to develop, establish, contest, appropriate or modify language (education) policies or institutional regimes of knowledge about legitimate language and speakerhood.
We encourage detailed accounts of the enactment, implementation, development, and effects of specific language policies. Rather than just description and/or evaluation of policies, Language Policy seeks high-quality research that allows us to understand ongoing processes of social change, has a substantial theoretical underpinning and contributes to theory-building."
