Explanation:
Language planning (also known as language engineering) is a deliberate effort to influence the function, structure or acquisition of languages or language varieties within a speech community.[1] Robert L. Cooper (1989) defines language planning as "the activity of preparing a normative orthography, grammar, and dictionary for the guidance of writers and speakers in a non-homogeneous speech community” (p. 8[2]). Along with language ideology and language practices, language planning is part of language policy - a typlogy drawn from Bernard Spolsky's theory of language policy. According to Spolsky, language management is a more precise term than language planning.
