"Could it be "The Mother Tongue"? If I remember correctly it had a lengthy
article in it about Revived Cornish, which Glenville-Price called "Cornic"
which Cornish revivalists hated."

No, that's Price, Glanville: The Languages of Britain (1984). Not at the
Cornish revivalists hated his coining of "Cornic" for George's
computer-aided pseudo-primordial "Kernewek Kemmyn". Some of us were quite
relieved that someone with a bit of academic weight had put our own
concerns, worries and fears quite succinctly.

In fact, if anyone on the list wants a quick treatise on why any language
revivalist should avoid taking on asterisked forms as the genuine article,
Price's book is it.
