Gaelic language revitalization concepts and challenges : collected essays /
McEwan, Emily,author.
"The chapters in this collection cover the main themes of the author's academic research in the field of linguistic anthropology, including knowledge and representation, identity and ideologies about what it means to be a Gaelic speaker, discourses of Gaelic language death and revitalization in the Scottish media, explorations of how neoliberalism and minority language revitalization intersect, the way that Gaelic speakers negotiate meaning in their everyday work, and overviews of how the theoretical frameworks of "Reversing Language Shift (RLS)" and "communities of practice" apply to Gaelic language revitalization efforts. The chapters include most of the author's previously published academic journal articles and book chapters, as well as several previously unpublished papers. The book is not a textbook, but it is suitable to assign for readings in upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level anthropology, linguistics, and education courses."-- ǂc Provided by publisher.
