Abstract:

This book deals with the tension between a strategy of language
maintenance (protecting and reinforcing the language where it is still
spoken by community members) and a strategy of language revitalization
(opening up access to the language to all interested people and
encouraging new domains of its use). The case study presented concerns
a grammar school in Upper Lusatia, which hosts the coexistence of a
community of Upper Sorbian-speakers and a group of German native
speakers who are learning Upper Sorbian at school. The tensions
between these two groups studying at the same school are presented in
this book against the background of various language strategies,
practices and ideologies. The conflict of interests between the
“traditional” community which perceives itself as the “guardians” of
the minority language and its potential new speakers is played off on
different levels by policy-makers and may be read through different
levels of language policy and planning.
