Language Planning

Abstract

Language planning, and language policy likewise, is one of the two principal aspects of macro sociolinguistics, which functions as a study of language management. Since language only belongs to human-beings, we not only have a good command of it but also positively impact on it in a manner that best serve our communication purposes. Characterized by three basics of language status planning, language corpus planning and language prestige planning, how language planning is conducted in different communities of speech depends on a variety of factors, among which emerge language situations, language attitudes, and relationships between language planning and language policy.
