Abstract This introductory chapter reviews the historical development of the field of Language Policy and Planning (LPP), outlines the structure of the book, and introduces conceptual concerns and challenges that circulate throughout the chapters. The authors review the foundations of the field in classic language planning theory and examine the evolution of disciplinarily and interdisciplinary approaches. Chapters in the book examine (socio)linguistic foundations, critical empirical research, the public policy approach, modern corpus planning, LPP and technology, and language revitalisation.
