Example text
The National Language Council, before its demise in 2001, was cautious in responding to these developments. Policy deliberations during the 1990s concentrated on rationalising the shapes of those characters used in computers which were not on the list and did not address the broader issue of whether the number of characters on the list should be expanded with the majority to be taught for recognition only, as has been occasionally suggested. The 2005 report of the NLC’s successor, the Kokugo Bunkakai (Subdivision on National Language of the Committee for Cultural Affairs), however, acknowledged the realities of the situation and announced that it would embark on a thorough reappraisal of existing policy on characters, which has since resulted in the decision to increase the size of the character list from 30 November 2010, specifically in response to the influence of information technology on writing.
The international has now become internal to the local area in many parts of Japan. Local rather than national government is thought to be the appropriate arena for this kind of internationalisation, since local governments ‘are closer to grass-roots democracy and thus able to avoid the negative associations of the nation-state’ (Tegtmeyer Pak 2003: 250). The term ‘uchinaru kokusaika’ is therefore largely used to refer to local internationalisation programmes which provide support to foreign residents in the area and which invite such residents to showcase their cultures.
Language planning results in what Coulmas (2005: 3) refers to as ‘administered language’: language that is learned deliberately through instruction . . the result of purposeful intervention in the course of language development by way of responding to changing communication requirements. The, as it were, visible hand of language administration takes the form of schooling, literacy education, terminology creation, and other measures of corpus planning. This conflates both language planning and language policy: while it is language planning that sets up the outcomes, it is usually policy that delivers them.
