Language Policy and Modernity in Southeast Asia : Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand / Antonio L. Rappa and Lionel Wee Singapore : Springer, 2006 vii, 159p. ; 24 cm. ; 24 cm. Indeks : p.155 - 159 p.144 - 154 This book considers the ways in which modenity challenges and informs the language policies of various Southeast Asian nations. Using case studies from Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, the authors examine language policies that are explicitly articulated either in the form of State constitutions or in the public proclamations of political leaders. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which English, often seen as the language of globalization, impacts the status of indigeneous Southeast Asian language. This brief discussion hopefully illustrates the mediating role that nationalist ideologies play in legitimizing specific language policies, as well as in coping with modernity.
