Agency in the Peripheries of Language Revitalisation: Examining European Practices on the Ground: 178 (Multilingual Matters) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book addresses the question of agency in the revitalisation of minoritized languages in Europe, with each chapter presenting an ethnographic account of how language policy operates in a specific linguistic context. The chapters investigate how grassroots actors shape revitalisation, and how individuals and groups negotiate historical factors, motivations, and institutionalised initiatives and policies in a variety of efforts. Between them the chapters address both contexts where social actors have gained and exerted agency in their revitalisation efforts, and contexts where issues of authority, authenticity and lack of engagement plague efforts; these chapters provide insights into how social actors work within and against social conventions and strictures.

<br /><br /><p class="xmsonormal">Alejandro Dayán-Fernández is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Glasgow. Grounded in Critical Sociolinguistics, his PhD research explored the role of language in diaspora community building processes based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted among Galicians in the UK. By combining his interdisciplinary background in Political Science, Translation Studies and Sociolinguistics, his current research focuses on the use of language in processes of collective action among grassroots social movements and the instrumentalisation of minoritised languages for political gains by different ideological forces."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
