A Reflection on the Concepts and the Perceptions of Language Policy

Abstract

Decisions around Language Policy and Planning are made around the world, every day, both formally by governments and informally by academics, community leaders, subjects etc. With regard to the underlying concept of what would be Language Policy, this objective essay goes into some points, such as: what are its bases and its assumptions; (1989), Johnson (2013), Ricento (2006), Lagares (2018), among others, seeking to propose a brief theoretical-methodological outline for a better understanding of the area that engenders the country in various instances of social life.
