Chapter 8 How standard Zhuang has met with market forces 1 MB
Description

Although centred on a case study in China, this research chapter explains a key point relevant to minority and Indigenous language support in Australia and New Zealand: that language standardisation (an aspect of public policy) can make a language less accessible to its speakers, rather than usefully promoting or supporting that language.
