跨时空框架下语言政策与规划的新尝试——《超国家语言政策》述评

A New Perspective on Language Policy and Planning in the Framework of Time and Space:A Review of Language Policy Beyond the State

该书以爱沙尼亚为例,系统展示了超国家语言主体如跨国公司、多语移民家庭和言语社区、学者、教师和公司职员等,在该国语言政策中所起到的作用。书中囊括了国家安全、多语主义、跨国机构语言、家庭语言政策与规划、地域语言变体等热点话题。通过语料库、案例分析和民族志等定量和定性研究方法,各章的系列研究结果表明,未来应更注重带有政治性和情感性的隐性语言政策。

The book under review systematically examines the role of transnational factors in Estonian language policy implementation. These factors include institutions and individuals such as transnational corporations, multilingual migrants and families, speech communities, scholars, teachers, and employees. The papers included in the book cover topics of national security, multilingualism, transcultural institutional languages, family language planning and policy, reginal language varieties and so on. By adopting multiple research methods, including corpus analysis, case study and ethnography, this book unveils the changing framework of time and space in a global and transnational era, which in turn underpins the languages＇ political and emotional features and the implicit dimensions of language planning.
