Book info: When we talk about politics and language planning (LP), many people react with strangeness. Some linguists even react with scepticism and imagine an imposition from above (top down); that is, from political actors in power. In many instances it is about people that imagine the rule is the desire of those who have plenty of time to think about linguistic changes that are not needed for our daily lives nor for our wellbeing. Such people are also thinking about planning the corpus; specially the “correct grammar” or the “authentic vocabulary”. They cannot imagine how important the impact of LP can be for our wellbeing. Regarding that, our intention is to make a highlight in the importance of LP. Source: http://publicaciones.enallt.unam.mx/index.php?press=Publicaciones_ENALLT&page=catalog&op=book&path%5B%5D=60
