This book presents a detailed sociolinguistic study of the
traditionally Catalan-speaking areas of Southern France, and sheds
new light on language attitudes, phonetic variation, language
ideologies and minority language rights. The region's complex dual
identity, both Catalan and French, both peripheral and strategic,
is shown to be reflected in the book's attitudinal findings which
in turn act as reliable predictors of phonetic variation. The
author's careful discursive analysis paints a clear picture of the
linguistic ideological landscape: in which French dominates as the
language of status and prestige. This innovative work, employing
cutting-edge mixed methods, provides an in-depth account of an
under-examined language situation, and draws on this research to
propose a number of policy recommendations to protect minority
rights for speakers of Catalan in the region. Combining language
attitudes, sociophonetics, discourse studies, and language policy,
this will provide an invaluable reference for scholars of French
and Catalan studies and minority languages around the world.
