This book represents the first collection specifically devoted to
New Speaker Studies, focusing on language ideologies and practices
of speakers in a variety of minority language communities. Over
thirteen chapters, it uses the new speaker lens to investigate not
only linguistic issues, such as language variation and change,
phonetics, morphosyntax, language acquisition, code-switching, but
also sociolinguistic issues, such as legitimacy, integration, and
motivation in language learning and use. Besides covering a range
of languages - Basque, Breton, Galician, Giernesiei, Irish,
Scottish Gaelic and Welsh - and their different sociolinguistic
situations, the chapters also encompass a series of interactional
settings: institutional settings, media and the home domain, as
well as different contexts for becoming a new speaker of a minority
language, such as by migration or through education. This
collection represents an output by a lively network of researchers:
it will appeal to postgraduate students, researchers and academics
working in the field of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics,
language policy and those working within minority language
communities.
