Language policies in language contact situations

ILS - Language Structure: Variation and Change

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

In many parts of the world, language
policies are based on a colonial heritage
language that has a dominant position in
institutions for education, governance and the
judiciary, while not being the home language of
the majority of the population. In our paper we
will specifically address language policies in the
education systems of the Caribbean islands that
are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
