Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Language attitudes and ideologies are of key importance in assessing the
chances of success of revitalisation efforts for endangered languages.
However, few book-length studies relate attitudes to language policies, or
address the changing attitudes of non-speakers and the motivations of members
of language movements. Through a combination of ethnographic research and
quantitative surveys, this book presents an in-depth study of revitalisation
efforts for indigenous languages in three small islands round the British
Isles. The author identifies and confronts key issues commonly faced by
practitioners and researchers working in small language communities with
little institutional support. This book explores the complex relationship of
ideologies, identity and language-related beliefs and practices, and examines
the implications of these factors for language revitalisation measures.
Essential reading for researchers interested in language endangerment and
revitalisation, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and language policy
and planning, as well as language planners and campaigners.

1. Language endangerment, language revitalisation and language policy; 2.
Small islands on the periphery of Britain; 3. Researching language attitudes
and ideologies; 4. Local language practices on a small island in the
twenty-first century; 5. Language attitudes, ideologies and identity on a
small island; 6. Language planning and policy: bottom-up and top-down; 7.
Implications.
