Breaking with the traditional approach to the continent’s language question by focusing on the often overlooked issue of the link between African languages and economic development, .Language Policy and Economics. argues that African languages are an integral part of a nation’s socio-political and economic development. Therefore, the book argues that any language policy designed to promote these languages in such higher domains as the educational system in particular must have economic advantages if the intent is to succeed, and proposes Prestige Planning as the way to address this issue. The proposition is a welcome break away from language policies which pay lip-service to the empowerment of African languages while, by default, strengthening the stranglehold of imported European languages.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | language marketing; Prestige Planning; African Languages; Language economics; Linguistic instrumentalism | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-31623-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-31623-3Series ISSN 2947-5880 Series E-ISSN 2947-5899 | | issn_series | 2947-5880 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
