Towards Openly Multilingual Policies and Practices - Assessing Minority Language Maintenance Across Europe (Hardcover)
Series: Linguistic Diversity and Language Rights

This book investigates the maintenance of multilingualism and
minority languages in 12 different minority communities across
Europe, all of which are underrepresented in international minority
language studies. The book presents a number of case studies
covering a broad range of highly diverse minorities and languages
with different historical and socio-political backgrounds. Despite
current legislation and institutional and educational support, the
authors surmise there is no guarantee for the maintenance of
minority languages, suggesting changes in attitudes and language
ideologies are the key to promoting true multilingualism. The book
also introduces a new tool, the European Language Vitality
Barometer, for assessing the maintenance of minority languages on
the basis of survey data. The book is based on the European
Language Diversity for All (ELDIA) research project which was
funded by the European Commission (7th framework programme,
2010-2013).
