Book Synopsis Language Planning in Africa by : Nkonko Kamwangamalu
Download or read book Language Planning in Africa written by Nkonko Kamwangamalu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on language planning in the Cameroon, Sudan and Zimbabwe, explaining the linguistic diversity, historical and political contexts, current language situation (including language-in-education planning), the role of the media, the role of religion and the roles of non-indigenous languages. The authors are indigenous to the situations described, and draw on their experience and extensive fieldwork there. The extended case studies contained in this volume draw together the literature on each of the polities to present an overview of the existing research available, while also providing new research-based information. The purpose of this volume is to provide an up-to-date overview of the language situation in each polity based on a series of key questions, in the hope that this might facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities where similar issues may arise. This book comprises case studies originally published in the journal Current Issues in Language Planning.
Book Synopsis Languages in Africa by : Elizabeth C. Zsiga
Download or read book Languages in Africa written by Elizabeth C. Zsiga and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People in many African communities live within a series of concentric circles when it comes to language. In a small group, a speaker uses an often unwritten and endangered mother tongue that is rarely used in school. A national indigenous language—written, widespread, sometimes used in school—surrounds it. An international language like French or English, a vestige of colonialism, carries prestige, is used in higher education, and promises mobility—and yet it will not be well known by its users. The essays in Languages in Africa explore the layers of African multilingualism as they affect language policy and education. Through case studies ranging across the continent, the contributors consider multilingualism in the classroom as well as in domains ranging from music and film to politics and figurative language. The contributors report on the widespread devaluing and even death of indigenous languages. They also investigate how poor teacher training leads to language-related failures in education. At the same time, they demonstrate that education in a mother tongue can work, linguists can use their expertise to provoke changes in language policies, and linguistic creativity thrives in these multilingual communities.
Book Synopsis Multilingualism and Intercultural Communication by : Christine Anthonissen
Download or read book Multilingualism and Intercultural Communication written by Christine Anthonissen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, there has been no published textbook which takes into account changing sociolinguistic dynamics that have influenced South African society. Multilingualism and Intercultural Communication breaks new ground in this arena. Its scope ranges from macro-sociolinguistic questions pertaining to language policies and their implementation (or non-implementation), to microsociolinguistic observations of actual language use in verbal interaction, mainly in multilingual contexts of Higher Education (HE). There is a gradual move for the study of language and culture to be taught in the context of (professional) disciplines in which they would be used. This book caters for this growing market. Because of its multilingual nature, it caters to English and Afrikaans language speakers, as well as the Sotho and Nguni language groups. It brings together various interlinked disciplines such as Sociolinguistics and Applied Language Studies, Media Studies and Journalism, History and Education, Social and Natural Sciences, Law, Human Language Technology, Music, Intercultural Communication and Literary Studies. The unique crosscutting disciplinary features of the book will make it a must-have for twenty-first century South African students and scholars and those interested in applied language issues.

Book Synopsis Language, Policy, Planning & Management in Nigeria by : Ozo-mekuri Ndimele
Download or read book Language, Policy, Planning & Management in Nigeria written by Ozo-mekuri Ndimele and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are 75 papers in this collection covering both formal and secular linguistics, with particular focus on languages spoken and used by Nigerians as they interact in the global situation. The majority of the papers address the main theme of this project: Language Policy, Planning and Management. There are, however, a good number of other well-researched papers which cater for topics not directly related to the theme, but of relevance in the study of languages, linguistics, literature and culture in Nigeria. Our main reason for doing this is to have an idea of the current state of research in linguistics and related matters in Nigeria.The book is published in honour of Professor Ben O. Elugbe of the Department of Linguistics & African Languages, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and currently the Executive Director of the National Institute for Nigerian Languages, Aba. Professor Elugbe is a world-class linguist and one of the major scholars not only in Edoid linguistics, but also an influential personality in phonology, historical linguistics and sociolinguistics in the world. It provides reference material for scholars in linguistics, literature, cultural studies, education, policy makers and all lovers of language."
Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of Language Policies in Africa by : Esther Mukewa Lisanza
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Language Policies in Africa written by Esther Mukewa Lisanza and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-08-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores language policies and their impacts in Africa, examining the different language policies in each country from pre-colonial to post-colonial times. Most African countries are multilingual, apart from a handful which are said to be quasi-monolingual. The authors in this handbook investigate language policy in education, media, legal courts, government documents and other public domains, and show how these policies shape learning and delivery of services to the citizens. The volume also pays special attention to the roles assigned to minority languages in Africa, most of which are endangered. The contributions also investigate how these language policies are influenced by the history of colonialism and language attitudes emanating from colonial rule. This handbook will be of interest to a diverse audience of readers, including those interested in African languages, language planning and policy, and African history and education.
Book Synopsis Language and Exclusion by : Ayọ Bamgboṣe
Download or read book Language and Exclusion written by Ayọ Bamgboṣe and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2000 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language is a critical factor in nation-building, and in a continent such as Africa, where language groups do not necessarily correspond with national boundaries, it is potentially contentious as well. Ayo Bamgbose's new book focuses on the problem of language exclusion, whereby certain languages -- and groups -- are omitted from language policies, particularly in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Originally based on a series of lectures given in South Africa, the individual chapters largely preserve the original style of presentation. Consequently, the book is readable, and a valuable introduction to some of the more important issues in African sociolinguistics. The book makes special reference to the language situation in post-apartheid South Africa. The appendices provide access to some of the most important documents on language policies such as the Organization of African Unity's Language Plan of Action For Africa (1986), the language provisions in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of South Africa (1996), and the Barcelona Universal Declaration on Linguistics Rights.

Book Synopsis Language Policy and Economics: The Language Question in Africa by : Nkonko M. Kamwangamalu
Download or read book Language Policy and Economics: The Language Question in Africa written by Nkonko M. Kamwangamalu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the perennial question of how to promote Africa’s indigenous languages as medium of instruction in educational systems. 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.

Book Synopsis Language Planning and Policy by : Ashraf Abdelhay
Download or read book Language Planning and Policy written by Ashraf Abdelhay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language policy is heterogeneous and varies according to its object, levels of intervention, purpose, participants and institutions involved, underlying language ideologies, local contexts, power relations, and historical contexts. This volume offers unique cross-cultural perspectives on language planning and policy in diverse African and Middle Eastern contexts, including South Africa, Bahrain, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Zambia, and Algeria. The African diaspora is also considered, as is the case of Brazil. By bringing together diverse contexts in Africa and the Middle East, this volume encourages a dialogue in the burgeoning scholarship on language policies in different regions of Africa and the Middle East in order to inspect the intersection between language policy discourses and their social, political, and educational functions.

Book Synopsis Paradigm Shift in Language Planning and Policy by : Ettien Koffi
Download or read book Paradigm Shift in Language Planning and Policy written by Ettien Koffi and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book proposes a paradigm shift in language planning and language policy in Africa. For the past fifty years, the dominant model has been the hegemonic model whereby a language of wider communication (LWC) is imposed on minority languages. It is now time for a paradigm shift in favor of a more egalitarian model in which all the languages spoken in the same country, irrespective of their size, are planned. The paradigm shift concerns four critical areas: status planning, cost-benefit planning, acquisition planning, and corpus planning. Such a shift is justified for the following reasons: First, the hegemonic model has a dismal track record of success in Africa and elsewhere. Second, the hegemonic model exacerbates linguistic conflicts in many countries. Consequently, policy makers shun it for fear of jeopardizing the fragile social fabric in their respective countries. Last, a shift away from the hegemonic model is recommended because it is too costly to implement. The "democratic model" is undergirded by the Strategic Game Theory proposed by David Laitin. It forecasts a 3±1 language outcome for most African countries. This outcome supports the "three language formula" now called for by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
