Question

name four types of language policy and define them​

Answer 1

Language policy is an interdisciplinary academic field. Some scholars such as Joshua A. Fishman and Ofelia Garcia consider it as part of sociolinguistics. On the other hand, other scholars such as Bernard Spolsky, Robert B. Kaplan and Joseph Lo Bianco argue that language policy is a branch of applied linguistics.

As a field, language policy used to be known as language planning and is related to other fields such as language ideology, language revitalization, language education, among others.
