| Résumé: | The book proposes a paradigm shift in language planning and language policy in Africa. The new democratic model for language planning has several assets over the traditional hegemonic language of wider communication (LWC) model: It does not endanger minority languages, nor does it endanger social cohesion in multilingual countries; it is less costly and makes literacy in the mother tongue marketable. The theory that undergirds the democratic model is the Strategic Game Theory. |
