Editorial Reviews

Explores relationships among language contact, language conflict, and language planning. The overall implication is that language contact often leads to language conflict, which is then addressed by language planning; unfortunately the planning itself may contribute to the conflict. The topics include conflicts between Irish/English, Norwegian/Sami, and French/English in Quebec; Madagascar in AD 700; Jerusalem; two written standards in Norway; and spelling reforms in Indonesia and Malaysia. Most of the 16 papers are from a November 1990 conference in Tromso, Norway. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
