Abstract:

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).
