The Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development is concerned with macro-level coverage of topics in the sociology and social psychology of language, in language and cultural politics, policy, planning and practice, and in all the many ramifications of these broad themes – ethnicity and nationalism, multicultural and pluralist accommodations in heterogeneous societies, issues surrounding collective identity and its ‘markers', the dynamics of minority groups, educational provisions for language and culture, endangered languages, language and group rights, and so on. Contributions that allow generalisation across settings are particularly welcome, as are those that embed the discussion in social and historical context.
