"The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning... is one of
few handbooks that go beyond the mere collection of existing
knowledge...this Handbook offers a very good foundation for future
research and for negotiating the aims, possibilities, and
limitations of the field in years to come" -- Iair G. Or, Tel Aviv
University, Journal of Language and Politics
"While space limitations meant that it was impossible to touch upon
all of the handbook's chapters here, I would say that, without a
doubt, this volume is a 'must-have' for LPP scholars, practitioners
and students. The accumulated knowledge, experience and dedication
demonstrated by all of the contributors and the editors are
evidence of exciting new stages in LPP research." -- Kayoko
Hashimoto, University of Queensland, Journal of Multilingual
and
Multicultural Development
