Language Planning and Policy

How can a government decide which language you speak in school or use in a courtroom? In this video, we explore Language Planning and Policy (LPP), examining how nations and organizations deliberately influence the use, structure, and acquisition of languages. We dive into the sociolinguistic theories that explain why certain languages are promoted as "official" while others are marginalized. Whether you are a student of Linguistics, Political Science, or Sociology, this lesson provides the critical tools to understand how language is managed on a national and global scale. What we’ll cover in this session: The Three Pillars of Planning: Exploring Status Planning (social standing), Corpus Planning (grammar and vocabulary), and Acquisition Planning (education). Official vs. National Language: Understanding the legal and symbolic differences between these titles. Language Ideology: How beliefs about "superior" or "correct" languages drive policy decisions. Linguistic Imperialism: The global spread of English and its impact on indigenous languages. Real-World Case Studies: Looking at language policies in multilingual societies to see how they manage diversity and conflict. This lecture is a vital resource for university students in the USA, India, Pakistan, and Asian and African Countries looking for a clear, academic breakdown of the politics behind language.
