By now it is acknowledged that the ability of a language group to produce and reproduce itself rests heavily upon the extent to which the associated language enters the labour market and provides opportunities for social mobility at least within the regional labour market (Williams, Roberts and Isaac, 1978). If this is, indeed the case, then language groups which do achieve a presence in the regional labour market are obliged to confront the prospect of economic restructuring and social change, much like the normative language group within society. They are obliged to be capable of flexibly modifying their role in the economic order through formal or informal agencies of Language Policy. |
