“official language” of a country or the “national language”.

Acquisition planning - It is concerned with language distribution, which can involve providing opportunities to use a
particular language to increase the number of uses

Corpus planning- It can be defined as those aspects of language planning which are primarily linguistic and, hence,
internal to language

Micro-level analysis- It involves ‘bottom-up’ level of planning that includes private initiatives such as local groups

Macro-level analysis- It involves ‘top-down’ national government policies.

The 1950’s-1960’s Era- The LPP subject came into existence from this duration and plenty of linguists emerged to offer
solutions of LPP-oriented problems in mild of the colonial ruling globally.

Haugen- The person who described language planning as “the undertaking of preparing normative orthography,
grammar and dictionary for the practice of writers and audio system in a non-homogenous speech community”.

paradigm.

Johnson- He argues that “it is difficult to precisely and/or cohesively signify the work for the duration of this length as
hobby grew to become more prolix that prolonged beyond the corpus/status distinction.

Rubin-He joined the critique of the “rational model” and in addition to the easy “technical” problems admit the
existence of several “wicked problems,” during the Classical Language Planning.

Hymes-He explains that it was once all through this time whereby positivistic linguistics paradigms and structuralist
principles had been more and more being challenged among a variety of disciplines.

The 1990s to present Era- 1990-present era, language “modernization” is considered as an “(early) modernization”
procedure that meant the unification of languages and the suppression of linguistic diversity in Third World countries.

Ricento- calls this new scenario in the principle of language planning “the ecology of languages paradigm.

Fishman- A widespread vicinity in this paradigm is occupied with the aid of the Reversing Language Shift mannequin,
which done significant reputation and was once utilized to a wide variety of language situations.

Hornberger- considers it an example of a mannequin that embodies three imperative aspects of a newly rising
paradigm, these being ideology, ecology and agency.

Williams- considers it to be the top of language planning, and, pointing to its superb influence, argues that this
mannequin really replaced “language planning.”

CHAPTER 3 Language Planning and Policy Theories and Perspective

Thomas Ricento’s- An Introduction to Language Policy: Theory and Method (2006, Blackwell) provides an
evaluation of the theoretical dimension of LPP studies.

Three sub-dimensions of Language Planning

1. Status Planning
2. Corpus Planning
3. Acquisition Planning

Status Planning
