Language Planning and Policy (LPP)

Language Planning and Policy (LPP) refers to the deliberate efforts by governments or institutions to influence and shape the use, status, and functionality of languages within a society. It involves creating rules or strategies to promote certain languages, standardize language use, or support linguistic diversity, often to foster social cohesion, cultural identity, or economic development. Essentially, LPP is about consciously managing languages to serve societal goals, balancing issues like education, official recognition, and language preservation.
