Abstract
Making connections between language policy texts and discourses and language practices is characterized by Hult as the perennial challenge for the field of language planning and policy (LPP). Language policies are linked to past policy documents, such as earlier policies and earlier versions of same policy and current policies, and they may be connected to a variety of past and present discourses. The nature of recontextualization relies both on intertextual connections to past texts and discourses as well as relationships, beliefs, ideologies, and power relationships in the new context. Language policy texts are not necessarily some homogenous documentation of unitary authorial intentions but, instead, heteroglossic and often filled with diverse (even contradictory) ideas about language and/or language education. Intertextual analysis is a tool that can be leveraged to analyze a particular phenomenon meaning production in spoken and written texts within a larger research project that makes use of other methods.
