In an early phase of modern language planning and policy analysis there was a major focus on the idea of language problems and how language specialists could offer governments and other agencies solutions to these language problems. Borrowing from management theory and public administration early language planning work proposed operational models for the field involving an ordered sequence of research to understand and interventions to solve language problems. In effect this constituted the field of language policy and planning as various kinds of organized pursuit of solutions to language problems, in which the critical role was allocated to an expert language scholar. As a result language policy and planning itself became identified with procedures for analyzing language problems and the specification of protocols for how these are studied and interventions to resolve them.
