'New speakers' is a term used to describe those who have learnt a
minority language not within their home or community settings, but
through bilingual education, immersion or migration. Looking
specifically at the impact of new speakers on language policy, this
book provides an authoritative and detailed examination of minority
language policy in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Basque Autonomous
Community, Navarre, Catalonia and Galicia. Based on interviews with
politicians, senior civil servants, academics and civil society
activists, it assesses the extent to which interventions derived
from a new speakers' perspective has been incorporated into
official language practice. It describes several challenges faced
by new speakers, before proposing specific recommendations on how
to integrate them into established minority language communities.
Shedding new light on the deeper issues faced by minority language
communities, it is essential reading for students and researchers
in sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language
education, bi- and multilingualism.
