This edited book is a festschrift for Professor Colin Williams, a hugely important and influential scholar in the field of language policy for more than forty years. His ground-breaking work on language policy regulation, language governance and language and territoriality has placed new questions and new concerns on the research agenda, established pioneering frameworks for analysis and encouraged many other scholars to further investigation, analysis and conceptual development in these areas. This book brings together a diverse set of chapters on aspects of the key fields developed by Professor Williams, with a particular focus on language policy issues in Wales and Canada, on which he has worked extensively. The fourteen contributors to the volume are scholars and practitioners who have worked with him on academic projects or policy initiatives of different kinds, with the Afterword written by Professor Williams himself. The work will appeal to academics and postgraduates working in the fields of language policy, applied sociolinguistics, Welsh and Canadian politics, sociology and geography. It will also appeal to practitioners in the field of language policy, such as language officers in different kinds of public institutions.weiterlesen
