Thesis (M.A. (Translation studies and Linguistics)) --University of Limpopo, 2010 / The aim of this study is to analyse the language policy adopted by Mopani District. The study has discovered that although the Constitution of South Africa (1996) grants official recognition to all eleven languages, the Mopani District uses largely English and Afrikaans in its official communication. The study further reveals that although the majority of the residents of the district are Sepedi and Xitsonga speakers, they still prefer English to their own languages. In other words, most people in the district still harbour negative attitudes towards African languages. Lastly, the study recommends that Sepedi and Xitsonga should also be accorded the respect that they deser ve, if the district is to achieve its full potential in terms of social, economic and educational development.

<p>Since time immemorial, various governments in China have attempted to promulgate writing reforms and speech reforms in order to unite the nation, mostly for political gain. The aim of this paper is to discover and analyze some language issues in the People’s Republic of China, specifically attitudes and comments on spoken usage of Putonghua (also called Modern Standard Chinese), Shanghai dialect, Cantonese and English by researching China Daily’s online newspaper article archive. A few valid articles could be retrieved and they uncovered that Putonghua, Shanghai dialect and Cantonese are all considered prestigious in different regions of the country; furthermore, English is gaining support rapidly, especially in corporate China.</p>

This paper attempts to provide a description of the LP process for the English language in Kuwait as it is related to planning activities in education and other areas. It will outline some of the policies for English language instruction and the development of curricula in several areas.
