Abstract

On the basis of media correspondence, this article aims to make a quantitative analysis of the response of Afrikaans speakers to the language policy changes and lack of recognition of their language in the Free State from 1994 to 1998. The gaps and merits of language legislation on provincial and municipal government level during the Transitional (Interim) and Final Constitution are discussed.
