Overview

Language Policy is committed to building a sound theoretical understanding of the field through the publication of high-quality empirically driven research that covers a range of cases, situations, and regions worldwide.

The journal aims to examine policymaking processes and practices by governments and governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, business enterprises, public and private institutions, community organizations, families, and other entities. It also pays attention to attempts made by minoritized groups to develop, establish, contest, disrupt, resist, appropriate or modify language (education) policies or institutional regimes of knowledge about legitimate language and speakerhood. 

We encourage detailed accounts of the enactment, implementation, development, and effects of specific language policies and regimes of knowledge about language practices and speakers under historical and political economic conditions. Rather than just description and/or evaluation of policies, Language Policy seeks high-quality research that allows us to understand ongoing processes of social change, has a substantial theoretical underpinning and contributes to theory-building.
