This paper reports on current activities of kokugo bunkakai, i.e., the National Language Division of the Cultural Council, and offers a critical examination of them based on the historical underpinnings of the current language regime as well as changes in linguistic dynamics in Japan.The examination delineates relationships among the ideological background of the current language regime, ongoing shifts in linguistic dynamics within Japan, and government policy-making responses, or the lack thereof, to such changes.There is a need to reconceptualize the role of Japanese from a wider perspective that is grounded in understanding domestic linguistic phenomena in the global context.The present study investigates not only the range of language policies but also how they are formed, reproduced, and changed.
