Abstract:

This book addresses the question of agency in the revitalisation of
minoritised languages in Europe, with each chapter presenting an
ethnographic account of how language policy operates in a specific
linguistic context. The chapters investigate how grassroots actors
shape revitalisation, and how individuals and groups negotiate
historical factors, motivations, and institutionalised initiatives and
policies in a variety of efforts. Between them the chapters address
both contexts where social actors have gained and exerted agency in
their revitalisation efforts, and contexts where issues of authority,
authenticity and lack of engagement plague efforts; these chapters
provide insights into how social actors work within and against social
conventions and strictures.
