The Politics of Language Conflict: Implications for Language Planning and Political Theory.
Dua, Hans Raj
Language Problems and Language Planning, v20 n1 p1-17 Spr 1996
Examines the different forms of language conflicts, which have been characterized on the basis of four features: language as symbol, as instrumentality, as resource, and as power. It is suggested that there is a need for the development of an explanatory model of language conflicts for viable language policies. (29 references) (Author/CK)
