The book analyses “Language Policy” offers a detailed approach of the concepts, research methods, findings and theories in one accessible source. The author analyses the latest advances in research methods and offers new theoretical, conceptual and methodological directions. The book also offers guidance for carrying out language policy research and certain research projects are proposed. A main focus of the book is the impact of language policies in community and educational practices. It also analyses how language researchers make links between macro levels language policy discourses and texts and micro level language exercises in communities and schools. The intended audience are language policy researchers, schools and the entire community.
This work compares with other I have cited and read before. It analyses the significance of language in humans (to plan, cooperatively act and to remember). The book analyses the role and development of standard languages in creating of national identities and communities. This book is highly relevant to my hypothesis as it explores reactions to globalization and nationalism, with significant consideration to language rights. It analyses possible methodological problems that arise when language policy researchers encounter while working in a range of communities and countries. The book is also significant as it acknowledges that language development, policy and planning does not fully entail engage; it is also characterized with legal and ethical dimensions.

The book analyses fundamental orientation toward language and the significance and role of society in language development and planning. The book also analyses language as an ethical and legal right and language-as- problem and finally language-as-resource. The contributions made by the book compete for prevalence in international literature. The book is highly important in my hypothesis as it analyses the value of rights- affirmation, ethics and legal issues in language development. This work compares with other I have cited and read before. It examines methodological problems that emerge when language policy researchers work in a range of communities and countries. The book is also significant as it acknowledges that language development is also characterized with legal and ethical dimensions. Information about the author was not provided.
