Abstract
This chapter and the next focus on Corsica’s contemporary sociolinguistic situation. This chapter aims to review how the Corsican language was eventually admitted within the scope of the Deixonne Law in 1974 and then institutionalised, to reconstitute the Corsican language policy network that emerged from the progressive institutionalisation of Corsican from 1974, to identify who the dominant players in that network are and their respective powers and to assess the success of the language revitalisation plans they have devised amongst the population by looking at popular attitudes to such plans.
