Like many languages across the globe, the Celtic languages today
are experiencing varying degrees of minoritisation and
revitalisation. The experience of the Celtic languages in the
twenty-first century is characterised by language shift to English
and French, but they have also been the focus of official and
grassroots initiatives aimed at reinvigorating the minoritised
languages. This modern reality is evident in the profile of
contemporary users of the Celtic languages, in the type of
variation that they practise, and in their views on Celtic language
and society in the twenty-first century. In turn, this reality
provides a challenge to preconceived ideas about what the Celtic
languages are like and how they should be regarded and managed at
local and global levels. This book aims to shed light on some of
the main issues facing the Celtic languages into the future and to
showcase different approaches to studying such contexts. It
presents contributions interested in explicating the modern
condition of the Celtic languages. It engages with attitudinal
support for the Celtic languages, modes of language transmission,
choosing educational models in minority settings, pedagogical
approaches for language learners and perceptions of linguistic
practices. These issues are considered within the context of
language shift and revitalisation in the Celtic languages. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Language, Culture and Curriculum.
