Review
"A very substantial new angle on Language Policy and Planning, something which is much needed in what I consider a poorly theorised field. I very much enjoyed reading it. I loved the wide scope and really appreciated the connection to history, politics and non-language focussed social action" Professor Joseph Lo Bianco, The National Languages and Literacy Insitute of Australia. "I read this book with enormous pleasure and interest. It should prove an invaluable resource for any scholar concerned with language politics in Britain - or indeed anyone working professionally with English or other languages in use in Britain. It brings together in a very accessible and readable way a huge array of facts and figures on language issues and provides a very coherent picture of the status of languages in contemporary Britain" Tom Bloor, Aston University, Birmingham.
