Abstract

Scholars in language policy studies increasingly highlight how language policy is not merely a set of formal regulations, but also a practice that shapes authority and meaning across various social contexts. In this framework, Language Policy in Action by Kristof Savski emerges as a significant contribution that challenges conventional approaches which tend to view language policy as a normative document. This book explores the dynamics of language policy in social, political and digital environments through data-driven analysis and in-depth theoretical inquiry. Drawing on case studies from diverse regions such as Slovenia, Thailand and Singapore, the author examines how language policies are constructed, contested, interpreted and even resisted in different social structures.
