The study of Language Policy and Planning (LPP) began in the 1960’s and was then primarily concerned with constructing proposals for how nations might engage in language planning. Since then, the field has progressed rapidly, and numerous theories of language policy have been proposed. Yet, the field might be described as disparate – populated by scholars with different training (anthropology, linguistics, sociolinguistics, and education) who approach the study of language policy in very different ways. Referring to example language policies from around the world, this presentation examines the historical trajectory of the field and focuses on major theories, research methods, and findings. Current debates will be examined and proposals for the future of LPP research will be presented.
语言政策与规划(LPP)研究始于20世纪60年代,当时主要关注国家如何参与语言规划。从那时起,这一领域发展迅速,并提出了许多关于语言政策的理论。然而,这一领域可能被描述为完全不同的研究——由受过不同训练(人类学、语言学、社会语言学和教育)的学者组成,他们以非常不同的方式研究语言政策。本文以世界各地的语言政策研究为例,考察该领域的历史轨迹,重点介绍主要理论、研究方法和研究成果。审视当前的研究论题,并提出对未来LPP研究的建议。
