• Focuses on the interaction between locally available languages in terms of policy and practice in language use and language learning
• Presents a relational view of language planning and language learning
• Provides a regional focus on a particularly dynamic geographical area, while identifying general principles that have relevance beyond the Asia-Pacific area
This volume provides a fascinating glimpse into the complex language ecologies of Southeast Asia. Adopting a relational perspective, it considers their significance for the region, its peoples, the policy and practice of language teaching, learning and assessment and the fate of local languages. It gives particular prominence to the relationship between English and Chinese, its likely transformation at a time of significant global change and the impact that these two languages and their synergy will have on the place of other languages and dialects. Dynamic Ecologies: A Relational Perspective on Languages Education in the Asia-Pacific Region draws on the research and insights of key scholars in the field and provides case studies that illustrate the impact of relevant language policy in countries including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia.

• Deals with language policy, educational policy and nation building in multi-ethnic societies, framed by practical experience in one of Asia’s most ethnically diverse countries, Malaysia
• Highlights political, socio-cultural, economic and knowledge economy factors and their impact on government decisions with regards to language policies and education
• Examines the dynamic tension between national collective identity and ethnic identity in majority and minority ethnic groups
Set in Malaysia, this book encompasses language and cultural policy challenges that many other multi-ethnic nations currently have to address. The people of Malaysia constitute a diverse ethnic, linguistic and cultural population, and one of the continuing challenges is the development and establishment of the Malaysian people’s ethnic, national and global cultural identities. This challenge is evident in the journey of language and cultural policy from the post-independence period to the 21st century; a period of over 50 years. The book highlights political, socio-cultural, economic and knowledge economy factors as they impact on decisions made by the government with regard to language policy in the various educational systems. It examines decisions made on the selection of the national language, the medium of instruction in educational systems, the varying changes in language policy for the field of science and technology and the maintenance and sustenance of minority languages.

Diktatorische Herrschaft beruht in erster Linie auf physischer Gewalt. Sie nutzt aber auch sprachliche Mittel, um ihren Machtanspruch durchzusetzen und zu etablieren. Die NS-Diktatur ist in dieser Hinsicht ein besonders eindrückliches Beispiel. Das neue Buch des Sprachwissenschaftlers Horst Dieter Schlosser widmet sich der Sprache unterm Hakenkreuz und ihren Mechanismen zur Machterhaltung. Er arbeitet insbesondere das Wechselspiel zwischen sprachlicher Diskriminierung und Vernichtung von tatsächlichen und mutmaßlichen Gegnern des Regimes heraus und stellt auch die Positionen des Widerstands gegen das Regime umfassend dar. Schlossers Analyse bietet eine profunde Basis zum Verständnis der Massenwirksamkeit von Propaganda und eine Grundlage, ihr mit sprachlichen Mitteln zu begegnen.
