Abstract
Sociolinguistic practice and political change: Critical appraisal of the language atlas of South Africa
Highlights
The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) research on the sociolinguistic profile of South Africa - and the central research done on language by the council - has recently taken the form of language atlases
It has led to the first Language atlas of South Africa: language and literacyp atterns, published in 1990,(Grobler et a l, 1 9 9 0 )
It is an important project at a time of transition, as discussions of regional and political demarcation, representation and the practicalities of educational transition and potential transformation are on the historical agenda
Summary
The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) research on the sociolinguistic profile of South Africa - and the central research done on language by the council - has recently taken the form of language atlases. The project was long overdue, given the need for such research in the South African context.
