The ecological perspective: Benefits and risks for sociolinguistics and language policy and planning

In recent years, in order to answer the fundamental questions in the field of linguistic policy and planning, we have made metaphorical use of the conceptualization and organization of biological phenomena into systems, known popularly as ecology. Of course, sociolinguistic objects are not fundament...
