This book offers an innovative framework for advancing just and effective Language Policy and Planning (LPP) by transforming the abstract ideal of linguistic justice into a practical tool for assessment and policymaking. Drawing on the capability approach, it defines linguistic justice as the freedom of individuals to access and exercise essential language-based capabilities across key areas of public life. The book identifies the most fundamental language-dependent public goods and services by analysing the principles and rights that societies have enshrined in their constitutions. These capabilities are then translated into measurable indicators, forming the Multidimensional Linguistic Justice Index (MLJI). Through a set of indicators and an intuitive tiered visual representation, the MLJI provides an accessible means of comparison across jurisdictions. Combining normative philosophy, sociolinguistics, and public policy, the book equips practitioners and academics with an important tool for evaluating and promoting linguistic justice. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/wlp.11.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027237958.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027237958.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/wlp.11.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/wlp.11.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/wlp.11.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/wlp.11.hb.png 01 01 JB code wlp.11.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages 1 01 04 Prelim pages Prelim pages 01 01 JB code wlp.11.toc 06 10.1075/wlp.11.toc v vii 3 Table of contents 2 01 04 Table of contents Table of contents 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.lof 06 10.1075/wlp.11.lof ix ix 1 Table of contents 3 01 04 List of figures List of figures 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.lot 06 10.1075/wlp.11.lot xi xi 1 Table of contents 4 01 04 List of tables List of tables 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.abb 06 10.1075/wlp.11.abb xiii xiii 1 Glossary 5 01 04 Abbreviations Abbreviations 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.ack 06 10.1075/wlp.11.ack xv xvi 2 Acknowledgments 6 01 04 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.intro 06 10.1075/wlp.11.intro 1 17 17 Chapter 7 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 eng 01 01 JB code wlp.11.c1 06 10.1075/wlp.11.c1 18 37 20 Chapter 8 01 04 Chapter I.
