Language planning is a body of ideas, laws and regulations (language policy), change rules, beliefs, and practices intended to achieve a planned change in the language use in one or more communities.

Language policy consists of the authoritative allocation of resources to language and pertains either to the status or the corpus of the language for which policy is designed. Sociolinguistics is the basic grounding needed for scholars to engage in LPP studies. The LPP strand also addresses the role of agency (e.g., governmental, non-governmental, community, and individual) in determining or influencing language policies and practices, as well as the role of the ideologies, attitudes, and beliefs that shape them.

The Handbook examines the ways in which scholarship in language policy and planning (LPP) has understood the changing relationship between LPP and political-economic conditions, and how this changing relationship has shaped knowledge production in the field. Language planning and policy (LPP) research falls into the field of sociolinguistics which is a branch of applied linguistics. The terminology that is vital or the background knowledge that is required for LPP studies can only be derived from sociolinguistics.
