This highly accessible book examines linguistic diversity in
Galicia, one of the devolved regions of Spain. Its principal
hypotheses are: that the Galician language is an intrinsic
characteristic of Galician ethnic identity: that policy and
planning impact on the behavioural practices of language users,
reflected in loyalty and prestige factors: that whilst a reversal
in traditional perceptions and attitudes is resulting in a
reaffirmation of Galician as the autochthonous language, its
sociolinguistic relationship with Castilian has not been resolved:
that Galicians have to negotiate multiple identities, subject to
constant change and adjustment. Through its innovative and in-depth
analysis of Galician linguistic, sociolinguistic, ethnic and
cultural revival and revitalisation processes, it also serves to
emphasise the wider relevance of such studies to the case of
minoritised languages in general.
