Localization of the Ethnography of Language Policy
With the paradigm shift in language policy and planning(LPP)research,the ontological,epistemological and methodological perspectives of the ethnography of language policy have attracted a wide attention from oversea LPP researchers.However,this approach has not received sufficient at-tention in China.This paper clarifies the implications,methods and application of the ethnography of language policy,expounds its great significance in language planning as a discipline,and recommends three strategies for the localization of the ethnography of language policy:the first is to enhance the localized cultural consciousness and give interpretations of the relevant research in the domain of the local history and culture;the second is to actively explore alternative epistemology,methodology and other conversational resources;the third is to adhere to China's stance and maintain critical reflections to provide some enlightenment for exploring the theoretical framework for the language planning with Chinese characteristics.
