Reviews

"The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning... is one of few handbooks that go beyond the mere collection of existing knowledge...this Handbook offers a very good foundation for future research and for negotiating the aims, possibilities, and limitations of the field in years to come" -- Iair G. Or, Tel Aviv University, Journal of Language and Politics
"While space limitations meant that it was impossible to touch upon all of the handbook's chapters here, I would say that, without a doubt, this volume is a 'must-have' for LPP scholars, practitioners and students. The accumulated knowledge, experience and dedication demonstrated by all of the contributors and the editors are evidence of exciting new stages in LPP research." -- Kayoko Hashimoto, University of Queensland, Journal of Multilingual and
Multicultural Development
