Situated within the interrelated disciplines of sociolinguistics
and sociology of language, this book explores the language use and
attitudinal perceptions of a sample of 130 adults who received
Gaelic-medium education (GME) at primary school, during the first
years of that system's availability in Scotland. As the first
students to have attended GME are now in their late 20s and 30s,
this volume offers a timely examination of the long-term outcomes
of the system in its earliest years, and of the future prospects
for Gaelic language maintenance and revitalisation in Scotland. The
book presents in-depth discussion and analysis of narratives in
order to demonstrate former Gaelic-medium students' present-day
relationships to the languages they speak, offering fascinating
insights into the possible reasons - historical, ideological and
personal - for these relationships. This book presents the first
open assessment of the outcomes of Gaelic-medium education in
Scotland, and offers suggestions for individuals and policymakers
seeking to revitalise languages internationally.
