Abstract:

This is the first volume entirely dedicated to contested languages. While
generally listed in international language atlases, contested languages
usually fall through the cracks of research: excluded from the literature on
minority languages and treated as mere ensembles of geographically defined
varieties by traditional dialectology. This volume investigates the nature of
contested languages, the role language ideologies play in the perception of
these languages, the contribution of academic discourse to the formation and
perpetuation of language contestedness, and the damage contestedness causes to
linguistic communities and ultimately to linguistic diversity. Various
situations and degrees of language contestedness are presented and analysed,
along with theoretical considerations, exploring potential roads to
recognition and issues in language planning that arise from language
contestedness. Addressing the “language vs dialect” question head on, the
volume opens up new perspectives that are relevant to all students and
researchers interested in the maintenance of linguistic diversity.
