The authors provide new data and reflections on these linguistic communities which have languages somewhere in between the majority and minority, and re-evaluate the opposition between ‘majority’ and ‘minority’. The book focuses on seven European cities, providing detailed information on their current situation and on the corresponding evolution of their linguistic repertoire. The book aims to improve our understanding of how and why languages live and decay, and of how intercultural cities, where communities show interest in each other’s culture and language, can be better developed and encouraged.Multilingual MattersLanguage policySocial aspectsUrban dialectsSocial aspectsMultilingualismSocial aspectsLanguage and languagesVariationLinguistic geographyVariationSociolinguisticsLanguage policySocial aspects.Urban dialectsSocial aspects.MultilingualismSocial aspects.Language and languagesVariation.Linguistic geographyVariation.Sociolinguistics.306.44/6091732ES 126rvkBoix-Fuster Emili, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911009208803321Urban Diversities and Language Policies in Medium-Sized Linguistic Communities4395935UNINA
