Democratic Policies for Language Revitalisation: the Case of Catalan

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Minority Languages and Communities ((PSMLC))

Abstract

Language planning and policy have become the subject of academic interest surprisingly recently. They were first broached in sociolinguistics (e.g. Rubin and Shuy 1973) and the sociology of language (e.g. Cobarrubias and Fishman 1983). Eastman (1983) made an early attempt to overview language planning, followed by Cooper (1989). Considerable attention is paid to language corpus planning in such publications.
