DESCRIPTION:In Applied Linguistics and more specifically in the field of L
 anguage Policy\, what counts as ‘language policy’ is regularly being d
 iscussed and challenged (e.g. Ricento\, 2005\; Gazzola et al.\, 2023). Whi
 lst some offer conceptualisations of language policy that expand its remit
 \, others return to more traditional understandings of the notion in fear 
 of losing the analytical power of the concept. This talk is situated withi
 n the “Empirical turn” (Johnson and Ricento\, 2013) of language policy
  research and the related micro-level ethnographic investigations of langu
 age policy processes (e.g. McCarty\, 2011)\, contributing therefore to the
  expansion of the conceptualisation of what counts as ‘language policy
 ’. In this talk\, I will present my tri-partite framework of ‘declared
 ’\, ‘perceived’ and ‘practiced’ language policy\, which builds o
 n Spolsky’s (e.g. 2004) work. I will then zoom in on the notion of ‘pr
 acticed language policy’ itself and demonstrate how it can be analysed b
 y drawing on a Conversation Analysis of a set of interactional data I coll
 ected in various educational settings (see also Bonacina-Pugh and Liddicoa
 t\, Forthcoming). I will shed light on (1) what can be referred as the ‘
 practical’ approach to language policy research (Bonacina-Pugh\, 2020)\,
  (2) what is meant by ‘practice’ in this line of research\, and (3) ho
 w practiced language policies can be seen as dynamic (Bonacina-Pugh\, 2024
 ). Finally\, I will show how the concept of ‘practiced language policy
 ’ advances the Empirical turn in language policy research and how it has
  recently been adopted and developed in a variety of domains other than th
 at of education\, such as the home\, online communication\, the workplace\
 , healthcare settings and public spaces.
