This book examines traditional theories of linguistic vitality in
the context of subcultural languages. It argues that traditional
methods of investigating linguistic vitality are, according to
existing literature, not as reliable as they appear and therefore
limited in their testability. The author looks at themes such as
the relationships between language and culture, ethnicity within
the scope of sociolinguistics, and the notion of ideolinguistic
vitality where traditional views intersect with more contextually
current ones. She also highlights the importance of studying the
nature and principles of subcultural languages which help better
inform our understanding of the superdiverse linguistic world. The
volume makes a major contribution to modern sociolinguistics by
offering a detailed account of developing a unique measuring
instrument to gauge the vitality of subcultural languages, which is
applicable to more than just subcultural linguistics. An
indispensable text in the study of ethnolinguistic vitality, the
book will be of interest to students and researchers of
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, identity theory, philology,
language and literature, cultural studies, and postcolonial
studies.
