In this way, the chapter explains how a graphic visualization may be used to provide a macro overview of language policy and planning, language practices and beliefs in a given territorial unit. The cases of Latvia and Germany have been chosen because of their contrastive nature: Latvia is an example of a strong state-language policy regime in a country with two major wide-spread varieties (Latvian and Russian), whereas Germany lacks strong top-down language policies while being dominated by German as the only major language of society.}, subject = {Sprachpolitik}, language = {en} }
