Discourse and Struggle in Minority Language Policy Formation: Corsican Language Policy in the EU Context of Governance

By Jean-Bernard Adrey

The author presents a new approach to the study of language policy, by focusing on language policy formation and implementation as a dynamic, conflict-laden process involving the interaction of various actors with different motivations and uneven bargaining powers, rather than as a product, examinable post hoc from existing language legislation.
