Language Problems as Constructs of Ideology
This entry details how the field of language policy and planning (henceforth LPP) began as largely a technical endeavor, often linked to development issues in third world countries, but increasingly became subject to and in part reflected significant ideological divisions over language and society.
Translation of personal official documents
Despite their potential real-life impact, translations of personal official documents have been largely unexplored in translation scholarship. Little research has been undertaken into professional practice within this translation domain and, correspondingly, little is known about how different stakeholders approach the necessary quality assurance. In this paper we examine the professional context of the translation of personal official documents …
Quality and integrity in the translation of official documents
The translation of official personal documents is widely needed and practised. As people migrate physically or virtually for employment and other purposes, millions of personal documents are translated and submitted to public administrations and private companies. This is also one of the areas of translation that is most regulated around the world, with translators often required to sit a test, demonstrate relevant qualifications, and/or be sworn…
Measuring recall of medical information in non‐English‐speaking people with cancer
BACKGROUND: Many patients who require an interpreter have difficulty remembering information from their medical consultations. Memory aids such as consultation audio-recordings may be of benefit to these patients. However, there is no established means of measuring patients' memory of medical information. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a method for eliciting and coding recall of medical information in non-English-speaking patients. DESIG…
The effect of interpreting modes on witness credibility assessments
Research into court interpreting has shown that interpreters can have an impact on the case in many different ways. However, the extent to which this occurs depends on several factors, including the interpreter’s competence, ethics and specialized training in court interpreting, as well as working conditions. One little explored aspect is whether use of consecutive vs. simultaneous interpreting can impact jurors’ perception of a witness or other …
The Latvian referendum on Russian as a second state language, February 2012
On 18 February 2012 Latvian citizens participated in a referendum on making Russian a second official (“state”) language. The proposal was rejected by three-quarters of voters. There is a complex background to language policy in Latvia, where since regaining independence in 1991 the country has promoted Latvian as the only state language, though Russian and other languages are widely used at a societal level. The language law and associated citiz…

Diaspora, Islam, Australia
Theoretical writings on diaspora and on Arab diasporas in particular have stressed the phenomenon of emerging transnational identities, particularly international Islam. This article draws on individual in-depth interviews with two Muslim Arabs in Australia to explore issues of identity and politics and to better understand aspects of the Arabic diaspora. Our first case study shows the persistence of a clear Arab nationalism and diasporic orienta…
Language Politics and Practices in the Baltic States
This monograph provides an overview of the language situation in the three Baltic countries: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It examines the recent change in language regimes that the Baltic States have deliberately brought about since the restitution of their independence, the nature of these changes, the opposition they have engendered and the linguistic, political and social consequences of these policies, both locally and internationally. Firs…
The language situation in Latvia 1850–2004
Latvia's sociolinguistic situation has changed dramatically over the past 150 years as a result of historical and political forces. German, Russian and Latvian have all serially been the dominant language in the territory at various times, while numerous linguistic minorities have been variously oppressed, ignored or recognised and supported. The political environment has directly affected both the number of speakers and the status of the various…
Language Policy and its Rationales
David Ingram’s career has traversed several decades of shifting rationale for language policy in Australia. Government and institutional initiatives have at various times favoured traditional foreign language teaching, multicultural imperatives and language diversity, concern for Asian economically strategic languages, or a focus on literacy in English. Ingram’s work has been based on the importance of the traditional teaching of languages in edu…
The Impact of European Accession upon Language Policy in the Baltic States
Language and Economics
Misunderstandings between economic approaches to language andthe fieldof language policy/language planning arise from deficiencies in the literature of both camps. This paper examines four examples: (1) liaison interpreting, where traditional economic analysis points to surprisingbenefits of engaging interpreters,often not recognised by practitioners themselves; (2) sometimes exaggeratedclaims by language professionals for the economic benefits o…
Between Russian and European Hegemony
There has recently been significant intensification of conflict over issues of language and citizenship in the Baltic. After giving a brief historical background to the language situation in this region, this article examines the recent politics of the Baltic language laws — which restored the national languages as the sole official language of each country — and, in the case of Estonia and Latvia, the citizenship laws which required Soviet perio…
Language policy and political reality
It is difficult for political theory to understand the issue of language policy in contemporary societies; likewise, theoriesof language planning and policy struggle to come to grips with political issues. Many political theories are limited by two perspectives. For theories concerned with ethnicity, language is often reduced to ethnicity, which is often seen as synonymous with ethnic conflict, while theories concerned with modernization appear t…
Liaison interpreting
The author discusses themes in translation theory from the point of view of liaison interpreting. Liaison interpreting is rarely discussed but can be used for illustration of many issues in theory. It is practiced in all societies with multilingual populations, but is still short of a strong professional profile. The shift in theory towards production orientation can be viewed from three central points in liaison interpreting. The first is the st…
Upwardly mobile languages
Since regaining their independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic states have adopted far‐reaching language policies as a crucial element in national reconstruction and transition from a Soviet system. Such policies now raise profound issues in the extremely complicated and politically sensitive social and linguistic situation of the Baltic states. A consistent Soviet policy of demographic mobility has brought to the Baltic states (particularl…

A Language Policy for Australia
Questions of language policy in Australia have rarely been addressed in a comprehensive manner. Migrant communities have long been concerned with an array of issues covering maintenance of their own languages, and access to suitable English teaching and to services through translating and interpreting, but policy in these areas has developed in a haphazard manner, with often little sustained interest shown by Australian institutions. A good deal …
