Extract

Because there is a separate section in this volume devoted to the language in education policy, little attention has been focused here on education. Nevertheless, many of the issues raised in such a general coverage of language policy must inevitably have implications for education even though they are not taken up here.

Type
Language Policy and the Linguistic Situation
