Dorian. 330 $aIn Small-language Fates and Prospects Nancy C. Dorian gathers findings from decades of documenting an endangered Scottish Gaelic dialect, presenting detailed evidence of contraction and loss but also recording a positive role for imperfect speakers. Retention of language skills undervalued by linguists but positively viewed by the community has supported the survival of local Gaelic-English bilingualism well beyond early predictions. Nonetheless, potent factors that threaten small-language survival everywhere have also operated here. Negative social attitudes towards the minority population, loss of a traditional occupation, the increasing impact of majority-culture ideologies, are recurrent phenomena in small-language settings. Maintenance or revitalization efforts pose special challenges under these circumstances, as does fieldwork itself when adverse sociohistorical forces have left very few fluent speakers. 410 0$aBrill's studies in language, cognition and culture ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aEndangered languages 606 $aScottish Gaelic language$xDialects$zScotland 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEndangered languages. 615 0$aScottish Gaelic language$xDialects 676 $a491.6/3 700 $aDorian$b Nancy C.$0174569 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458742003321 996 $aSmall-language fates and prospects$91981004 997 $aUNINA
