Abstract

Language planning in South Africa has been nothing but the Government's policy of separatism. To our knowledge there has never been any consultation between the authorities and.the users of the various languages. The broader community has had no input in planning the languages which affect them directly. It is our attempt then to join the debate about language policy and language planning especially during 1991/1992... Advisors/Committee Members: Chaphole, S.R., Prof (advisor).
