Language Policy, Language Education, Language Rights: Indigenous, Immigrant, and International Perspectives.
Hornberger, Nancy H.
Language in Society, v27 n4 p439-58 Dec 1998
Discusses cases of indigenous/immigrant languages that are in danger of disappearing because they are not being transmitted to the next generation, including languages of South America, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Wales, New Zealand, Turkey, and native languages of California. Such cases provide evidence that language policy and education serve as vehicles for promoting the languages and the rights of their speakers. (Author/MSE)
