Ce Handbook de plus de 600 pages aborde la politique linguistique comme une forme de politique publique et propose de l’étudier à l’aide du cycle des politiques publiques. Il contient un panorama systématique des processus et des méthodes utilisées dans la conceptualisation, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation des politiques linguistiques. Avec une introduction substantielle, 38 chapitres et une bibliographie étendue, ce Handbook veut être une ressource à disposition des décideurs, des étudiants et des chercheurs en politique linguistique. D’esprit résolument interdisciplinaire, il se situe à l’intersection de plusieurs disciplines des sciences sociales et humaines—les sciences du langage, bien entendu, mais aussi la science politique, l’économie, la sociologie, les sciences de l’éducation, la psychologie, la géographie humaine et le droit. Le “preview” gratuit donne accès à la table des matières, à l’introduction générale et aux références de l’ensemble de l’ouvrage ; un bon de promotion (“voucher”) valable jusqu’au 31 décembre 2023 permet aux personnes intéressées et aux bibliothèques universitaires de commander l’ouvrage à un prix préférentiel.
