Although the proliferation of handbooks in language studies in recent years has created a library of high-quality material, handbooks require enormous efort, and the authors’ time required to produce these hety manuscripts can crowd out basic research that is the foundation for any scholarly discipline. If we were to go ahead with this project, we wanted to ofer a diferent type of handbook, one that is not primarily a retrospective summary of the history of subields within LPP—though such retrospectives are important—but instead one that looks forward, in an efort to articulate and confront important issues underlying the transformations currently taking place in LPP and the social sciences more broadly. Accordingly, this is what we wrote to potential authors: Our motivation for this efort is to articulate and provide direction for the current theoretical and methodological turmoil in LPP associated with the socioeconomic, institutional, and discursive processes of change taking place under the conditions of late modernity. As an academic discipline in the social sciences, language policy is fraught with tensions between these processes of change and the still-powerful ideological framework of modern nationalism. We believe this is a thrilling time in LPP studies, and we want this project to relect that excitement. We intend he Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning to be a dialogue between the two major historical trends in LPP associated with processes linked to modernity and late modernity: the focus on continuity behind the institutional policies of the modern nation-state, and the attention to local processes of uncertainty, reorganization, and instability derived from the above-mentioned conditions of change. his dialogue is also aimed at overcoming the long-standing division between “top-down” and “bottom-up” analysis in LPP research, and at providing direction for theoretical and methodological innovation in LPP studies. To our great satisfaction, the response to our call was enthusiastic across the board, and all of our contributors have responded to this challenge with great care and deep professional commitment. As editors, we divided responsibility for the chapters according to our interests, experience, and expertise, each of us shepherding through the review process about half of the total number of chapters in the volume. Although we divided chapters in this way for administrative purposes, both of us read and fully edited every chapter, at each stage of revision. We also shared equal responsibility for writing the 9780190458898_Book.indb 9 02-Feb-18 6:22:03 PM OUP UNCORRECTED PROOF – FIRSTPROOFS, Fri Feb 02 2018, NEWGEN x Preface introductory and concluding chapters. his Handbook, therefore, is the result of our extensive collaboration during every phase of the project. Many people helped us to produce this volume, above all the contributors, who responded to our multiple and repeated requests for clariication and revision as we worked to shape the volume into a coherent whole. We would also like to thank our students in our postgraduate class, Introduction to Sociolinguistics, which we cotaught at the University of Hong Kong in 2014. It was in this class that we began to elaborate our understanding of the tensions, paradoxes, and contradictions in LPP research and practice, in a context in which traditional institutional bodies reposition themselves as other regional and transnational actors, both governmental and nongovernmental, gain greater inluence in language policymaking. We are grateful as well for the support of our home institutions, including he University of Hong Kong, where we worked together at the time this project was initiated, and our current workplaces: the Department of English at the University of Washington, and UCL Institute of Education at University College London. We also thank Hallie Stebbens and Hannah Doyle, our editors at Oxford University Press, who patiently guided this project to its completion. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the extraordinary formative impact of our academic mentors. For Jim, they included, at Stanford University: Gilbert Ansre, Eve V. Clark, Joseph H. Greenberg, Shirley Brice Heath, Eduardo HernandezChavez, Beatriz Lavandera, and especially Charles A. Ferguson.
