Reversing Language Shift in Galicia. A Present-Day Perspective. Skobel, E. Ph.D. Thesis, 2010.
Paper abstract bibtex The present paper is about the current linguistic situation in Galicia and about the prospects of the Galician language in modern times. The language situation in Galicia is that of diglossia; two languages, Spanish and Galician, are spoken in the region. In a situation of diglossia, the two languages are rarely used by the speakers to an equal extent and in the same spheres; most often, there is a relation of competition and/or conflict between the languages; one language enjoys greater prestige than the other, and sometimes, there is a risk for the less prestigious language to be displaced by the dominant one, in a process called language shift. The speakers of the less prestigious language will normally want to preserve it, restore its prestige and protect it from the destructive influence of the dominant language, i.e. to reverse the language shift. Different measures can be taken to attain this purpose, and they can lead to different results, depending on the peculiarities of the linguistic situation
