Beskrivning
Bernard Spolsky is one of the most influential figures in applied linguistics and sociolinguistics. Bringing together a distinguished international team of scholars, this book explores how Spolsky's groundbreaking ideas have shaped contemporary thinking across language policy, educational linguistics, family language policy, and language revitalization. Organized into four thematic sections, its twenty chapters offer fresh reflections on Spolsky's seminal contributions and how they have shaped their understanding and work, from his widely cited model of language policy and his insights into multilingual families, to his work on minorities' language rights, language testing, and the revitalization of Indigenous and Jewish languages. Together, the chapters illuminate both the breadth and depth of Spolsky's scholarship, demonstrating how his theories continue to inspire new generations of researchers. This volume stands as both a tribute to his remarkable legacy and a forward-looking exploration of emerging directions in the field.
