System of indicators

[Johanna Laakso]

Dear colleagues,

One such attempt was made in the project ELDIA (European Language Diversity for All). More information about the "European Language Vitality Barometer" (EuLaViBar) can be found on the homepage www.eldia-project.org – in addition to the EuLaViBar Toolkit, I recommend reading the Comparative Report (abridged version at http://phaidra.univie.ac.at/o:304815 ), which explains the backgrounds in more detail.

Best

> At Sociolinguistic Cluster (http://www.soziolinguistika.org/) we are working on a system of indicators that will enable a description of the social situation of the Basque language. In the initial phase of the project we have defined four general indicators: language competence, possibility of use, language use and subjective aspects (motivation, opinion or behavior, for example). These four indicators will be analyzed in areas such as family, education, administration, socio-economics, free time or means of communication. We would greatly appreciate any references regarding similar projects which could acquaint us with systems of linguistic indicators that are being used at an international level. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards.
