The region’s complex dual identity, both Catalan and French, both peripheral and strategic, is shown to be reflected in the book’s attitudinal findings which in turn act as reliable predictors of phonetic variation. The author’s careful discursive analysis paints a clear picture of the linguistic ideological landscape: in which French dominates as the language of status and prestige. This innovative work, employing cutting-edge mixed methods, provides an in-depth account of an under-examined language situation, and draws on this research to propose a number of policy recommendations to protect minority rights for speakers of Catalan in the region. Combining language attitudes, sociophonetics, discourse studies, and language policy, this will provide an invaluable reference for scholars of French and Catalan studies and minority languages around the world.SociolinguisticsLinguistic minoritiesLanguage policyArea studiesLinguistic anthropologyPhonologySociolinguisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N44000Minority Languageshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N67000Language Policy and Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N64000Area Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045Linguistic Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12020Phonology and Phoneticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N34000Sociolinguistics.Linguistic minorities.Language policy.Area studies.Linguistic anthropology.Phonology.Sociolinguistics.Minority Languages.Language Policy and Planning.Area Studies.Linguistic Anthropology.Phonology and Phonetics.449.97Hawkey Jamesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut902451BOOK9910300602603321Language Attitudes and Minority Rights2017411UNINA
