LANGUAGE PLANNING IDEOLOGIES, COMMUNICATIVE PRACTICES AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. Rubdy, R. In Encyclopedia of Language and Education 2nd Edition, volume 3, pages 211–223. 2008. abstract bibtex Languages are far more than just media of communication. They embody more subjective features such as values, ideals and attitudes that imbue them with particular symbolic qualities and functions. They are then seen as emblems of nationhood, cultural identity, progress, moder- nity, democracy, freedom, equality, pluralism, socialism and many such ‘values'. These valuations become central elements in the ascription and achievement of language status (Blommaert, 1999). Such attitudes and beliefs, when linked to other social ideologies, can influence and constrain the development of language planning and policy (LPP). For this reason language planning issues are rarely solely about language. Ideologies are unconscious beliefs and assumptions that are ‘natural- ized' and thus contribute to hegemony. They bring into play relation- ships of power that perpetuate inequality and social injustice. Further, ideologies are reproduced by a variety of institutional and everyday practices, such as those followed in schools, administration, media, advertising, art, literature and so on. These reproduction practices tend to reinforce privilege and grant it legitimacy as a ‘natural' condition (Fairclough, 1989). A good example is the notion of a standard lan- guage; itself a product of such ‘naturalized' thinking (Bex and Watts, 1999; Milroy and Milroy, 1985). Scholars engaged in LPP, therefore, seek to understand and uncover the ideologies inherent in the historical and sociopolitical structures and practices that contribute to the repro- duction of such systems of authority and control, and how they may be resisted, for language planning to be beneficia
