Recenzje

The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning... is one of few handbooks that go beyond the mere collection of existing knowledge...this Handbook offers a very good foundation for future research and for negotiating the aims, possibilities, and limitations of the field in years to come Iair G.
