Abstract:

Against the backdrop of social media and internet use and their impact
on communication, those working with minority (or autochthonous)
heritage languages, including teachers, language activists and
planners and researchers, are reassessing the media, language policy
and teaching practices which they had previously applied to stem the
tide of language shift towards majority languages. The languages
examined in this book are still spoken by a considerable number of
speakers and enjoy varying and varied forms of institutional, legal,
financial and ideological support. While their overall numbers of
speakers are declining, their importance for identity construction and
commodification processes continues to increase. This book addresses
issues including the potential for a shift from a focus on oral to
written practices; the rise of new communities of practice and
communicative domains; and the need for resulting shifts in language
policy and teaching methods.
