“…The editors of Post-Imperial English, for example, commissioned the country case studies that compose the volume for the ostensible purpose of testing the linguistic imperialism thesis, but in fact most contributors worked simply to discredit it . Phillipson's (1999) review of this volume, in turn, included harsh criticism for those contributors who had "excluded . .…”

The last half century has witnessed an explosive shift in language diversity not unlike the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel, but involving now a rapid spread of global languages and an associated threat to small languages. The diffusion of global languages, the stampede towards English, the counter-pressures in the form of ethnic efforts to reverse or slow the process, the continued determination of nation-states to assert national identity through language, and, in an opposite direction, the greater tolerance shown to multilingualism and the increasing concern for language rights, all these are working to make the study of the nature and possibilities of language policy and planning a field of swift growth.The series will publish empirical studies of general language policy or of language education policy, or monographs dealing with the theory and general nature of the field. We welcome detailed accounts of language policy-makingwho is involved, what is done, how it develops, why it is attempted. We will publish research dealing with the development of policy under different conditions and the effect of implementation. We will be interested in accounts of policy development by governments and governmental agencies, by large international companies, foundations, and organizations, as well as the efforts of groups attempting to resist or modify governmental policies. We will also consider empirical studies that are relevant to policy of a general nature, e.g. the local effects of the developing European policy of starting language teaching earlier, the numbers of hours of instruction needed to achieve competence, selection and training of language teachers, the language effects of the Internet. Other possible topics include the legal basis for language policy, the role of social identity in policy development, the influence of political ideology on language policy, the role of economic factors, policy as a reflection of social change.The series is intended for scholars in the field of language policy and others interested in the topic, including sociolinguists, educational and applied linguists, language planners, language educators, sociologists, political scientists, and comparative educationalists.

“…In this situation, English is commonly used alongside Indonesian. Yet, it worries us how the usage of English might bring up questions of power and identity, which could affect how well the various languages coexist in contexts where there are multiple languages ( [19], [10], [20]). In Indonesia, according to [13], the usage of English among Indonesian millennials has increased owing to extensive exposure to English in secondary schools in urban areas.…”

The linguistic landscape becomes a symbol of language's presence in public spaces, which depicts the visible representation of written language in public areas such as streets, tourist spots, buildings, and food business complexes. The language choice and functions of signage are required in response to the linguistic landscape of an area with a strong culinary business reputation for youth. This article aims to describe language choice and functions as the primary sources of reasons for language use in the food business' linguistic landscape (LL). Data dominated by bottom-up signage, like shop names, ads, and street food stall signs, were collected from signage in areas where many youngsters congregated to shop, walk, sightsee, and eat. The results of this study show that the bilingual Indonesian-English language dominates the language contestation in the area. In addition, slang languages are also found in the commercial area. The functions of the signs will be described and explained at the end of the article.
