Abstract:
This collection considers such issues as the cognitive, linguistic and
emotional benefits of speaking two languages, the perceptions, attitudes and
issues relating to identity in minority language areas, and the number of
grammatical aspects amongst those who speak these minority languages. The
premise of the book is based on the fact that these minority languages have,
in the past, been in danger of becoming obsolete, mainly because of negative
attitudes regarding the benefits of speaking languages that are considered
irrelevant internationally. However, in recent times, the benefits of speaking
two languages, including where one is a minority language, have been
recognised in ways that were not previously understood. Perhaps because of
this, alongside the introduction of legislation in some areas in Europe that
has been designed to support the preservation of some of these languages,
there has been a re-emergence of many minority languages throughout the
continent. Questions remain whether this has led to the languages becoming
more widely spoken and whether there are specific benefits that can be gained
from speaking them. Exploring these questions has led to an increasing amount
of research being undertaken on various aspects of bilingualism in minority
language areas in Europe. The book contributes to this debate and underlines
the relevance and significance of bilingualism in the specific context where
European minority languages are still spoken.
