Words and Worlds
World Languages Review aims to examine the sociolinguistic situation of the world: to describe the linguistic diversity that currently characterizes humanity, to evaluate trends towards linguistic uniformity, and to establish a set of guidelines or language planning measures that favour the weaker or more endangered linguistic communities, so that anyone engaged in language planning -government officials, institution leaders, researchers, and community members- can implement these measures.
Place Naming, Identities and Geography
This book presents research on geographical naming on land and sea from a wide range of standpoints on: theory and concepts, case studies and education. Space and place naming or toponymy has a long tradition in the sciences and a renewed critical interest in geography and allied disciplines including the humanities. Place: location and cartographical aspects, etymology and geo-histories so salient in past studies, are now being enhanced from a range of radical perspectives, especially in a globalizing, standardizing world with Googlization and the consequent ‘normalization’ of place names, perceptions and images worldwide including those for marketing purposes. Nonetheless, there are conflicting and contesting voices. The interdisciplinary research is enhanced with authors from regional, national and international toponymy-related institutions and organizations including the UNGEGN, IGU, ICA and so forth.
Language Diversity in the Pacific
The Southwest Pacific from Southern China through Indonesia, Australia and the Pacific Islands constitutes the richest linguistic region of the world. That rich resource cannot be taken for granted. Some of its languages have already been lost; many more are under threat. The challenge is to describe the languages that exist today and to adopt policies that will support their maintenance.

Kedonganan: Sejarah, Tradisi dan Toponiminya dalam Perspektif Linguistik
Kedonganan adalah nama sebuah desa di kaki Pulau Bali, tak jauh dari Bandara Internasional Ngurah Rai. Dahulu, desa ini menjadi salah satu desa nelayan yang terkenal di Bali selatan. Selain itu, desa ini terkenal karena memiliki hubungan sakral dengan air payau dan hutan bakau yang dahulu banyak tumbuh di wilayah desa. Dari masa ke masa, Kedonganan mengalami banyak perubahan drastis. Nilai-nilai budaya mulai luntur karena derasnya arus teknologi informasi dan candu-candu kapitalisme. Karena itu, penting kiranya nilai-nilai tradisional itu didokumentasikan sehingga siapa pun dapat membaca dan mengambil manfaat darinya. Semoga desa-desa lain di seluruh Indonesia menyusul dengan komitmen mereka untuk mendokumentasikan aset kultural mereka demi generasi masa depan.

Guardians of Language
This book provides an accessible account of the origins and conceptual foundations of language policy. Florian Coulmas discusses the influence of twenty intellectuals from medieval to modern times, and from a variety of cultures, who have taken issue with language, its use, development, and political potential. These 'guardians of language' range from renowned figures such as Dante, Noah Webster, and Gandhi, to less well-known individuals such as the Spanish grammarian Antonio de Nebrija and Senegalese politician and poet Leopold Sedar Senghor. Each chapter begins by providing background information on the scholar whose work is being reviewed and ends with a summary of his key thoughts on language in the form of an imaginary interview.
