Bøger af Dennis Ernest Ager

This book deals with the ways in which French is used in different circumstances and settings in France and abroad, with the language attitudes of French speakers and with language policy. It examines not only the linguistic data, but also the social, political and economic environment in which contemporary French is used.

This text attempts to define what language policy is, to what it applies, and how various disciplines such as sociolinguistics and the analysis of the political process help in studying language policy and policy-making. It examines language policy in both Britain and France up to 1995.
