Synopsis
During the nineteenth century, Irish-speaking communities declined almost to the point of extinction. But in 1922 the new Irish state launched a broad strategy to re-establish Irish as a national language. This book looks at that policy and its impact over the last seventy years. Pádraig Ó Riagáin focuses not only on the evolving structure of bilingualism in Ireland but also on the process of bilingual reproduction. His analysis is based on a series of language surveys conducted between 1973 and 1993.

Review
"This is an interesting, challenging contribution to studies of language policy and language planning in general, as well as to our understanding of Irish-English bilingualism in Ireland....The book thus contributes to the development of hypotheses about the fate of linguistic minorities in the modern world...This is a first glimmer of the rethinking that needs to be done."--American Journal of Sociology

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. During the nineteenth century Irish-speaking communities declined almost to the point of extinction. But in 1922 the new Irish state launched a broad strategy to re-establish Irish as a national language. This book is about that policy and its impact over the last seventy years. O Riagain focuses on the evolving structure of bilingualism in Ireland but he is more centrally concerned with the process of bilingual reproduction. Hisanalysis is based on a series of language surveys conducted between 1973 and 1993. In Part I he reviews the evolution of language policy and the main theoretical perspectives emerging in Irish research. In Part II he is concerned withthe position of the Irish language in the residual Irish-speaking areas, and in Part III with the present position of the Irish language in the English-speaking areas. He examines the role of policy in education, in the public sector, and in the forming of Irish-speaking networks. He argues that the various dimensions of Irish language policy have been heavily conditioned by the way the Irish economy and, in turn, Irish society has developed since independence. He concludes in Part IV with adiscussion of current issues within Irish language policy. Taking the well-known Irish language revival policy as a case study, this book examines the complex relationship between processes of economic and social development on the one hand, and processes of language and cultural change on the other. Does modernization inevitably mean the end of traditional languages and cultural practices, or can they re-emerge in new forms?
