This book explores the interwoven relationship between language,
media, and society in post-Apartheid South Africa. The author examines
selected case studies from the sociolinguistic landscape of South
African television, analysing dominant language ideologies and
illuminating the challenges, opportunities, and potential for
transformation. He argues for the power of television in shaping
language ideologies, fostering cultural understanding, and advocating
for more inclusive and equitable language usage in the media. This
book contributes to the field of sociolinguistics by emphasizing the
complexity of multilingualism in South Africa and inviting ongoing
exploration and dialogue in this landscape. It will be of interest to
students and scholars of Sociolinguistics, Media Studies, African
Culture and History, and Language Policy and Planning.
