“…Indeed, by acknowledging Bishop as a bottom-up language-planning actor, the present study contributes to the growth in languageplanning and policy scholarship which focus on the possibilities from language revitalisation and renewal when these initiatives come from the bottom-up (cf. Kelly-Holmes, Moriarty, and Pietikäinen 2009). Furthermore, the fact that a combined top-down and bottom-up language-planning and policy initiatives may be more effective to Irish language revitalisation in the long run, the current article adds to the emerging debate which proposes that top-down and bottom-up languagepolicy initiatives should work in harmony with one another, rather than running counter to one another.…”

“…Focal areas have been, for instance, multilingualism and commercial language practices on the Internet (Kelly-Holmes 2006a), code choice and code switching (Siebenhaar 2006), codes and identities (Androutsopoulos 2006), citizenship categorisation (Lane 2009), bilingual gaming and fan fiction activities (Leppänen and Piirainen-Marsh 2008), accent policing (Blommaert 2008), mediaspace complexity (Androutsopoulos 2009), multilingually oriented online services such as intelligent search engines (Wong et al 2006) and discussion fora (Wodak and Wright 2006), as well as case studies of specific minority languages such as Basque, Irish, Sami (Kelly-Holmes 2006b, Kelly-Holmes et al 2009) and Catalan (Atkinson 2006). The present study concentrates in particular on user-generated knowledge production and dissemination.…”

Wikipedia defines itself as "the biggest multilingual free-content encyclopedia on the internet", thus featuring an explicit language policy in its mission statement. Bearing in mind that the site has become the most popular source of encyclopaedic information online, its significance for public encounters with multilingualism should not be underestimated. This article offers a critical and multimodal discourse analytical approach to Wikipedia's explicit and implicit multilingual policies and practices. I examine, under "explicit metalinguistic practice" (Woolard 1998), public disclaimers and exemplary user practice and talk on the "Multilingual Coordination" entry. Under "implicit metapragmatics", I shall offer a multimodal analysis of Wikipedia's multilingualism-oriented interface design; the corporate logo and its paratextual meta-commentary on a number of linguistic and journalistic websites; and a code-critical reading of Wikipedia's "Babel" user language templates. My observations are discussed against the backdrop of postcolonialist theories on the role of English as lingua franca of the information age.

“…Perhaps first and foremost, discussions about linguistic rights come to mind (e.g., de Varennes 1999: 122-124, Guyot 2007: 41-42, Hourigan 2007), 2 as well as the benefits and challenges of minority language media outlets dedicated to language maintenance and revitalization (e.g., Kelly-Holmes, Moriarty & Pietikäinen 2009, Hourigan 2003, Moriarty 2009). At the same time, the media in general are also central to the politics of linguistic minority representation vis-à-vis dominant languages in the public sphere, especially with respect to the linguistic ordering of national languages, indigenous minority languages, immigrant and heritage languages, and foreign languages (Cormack 1998).…”

Swedish television as a mechanism for language planning and policy

The function of the public service broadcasting company Sveriges Television (Swedish Television) as a component of the Swedish ecology of language planning and policy is examined. Analysis of recent policy documents as well as data about television programming illuminates how television serves as a language planning mechanism. It is shown that television is explicitly framed as a tool for status planning through regulations about the relative positions of different languages in this domain. The management of content in Swedish, national minority languages, and other languages, in turn, suggests that Sveriges Television is also implicitly engaged in discourse planning that (re)produces the current linguistic hierarchy in Sweden through the representation of multilingualism.
