Minoritisation, Identity and Ethnolinguistic Vitality in Catalonia

This article expresses the view that language planning and policies which seek to protect the interests of linguistic minorities must be based on a realistic analysis of the power relations which exist between the groups concerned. It argues that such an assessment is a complex task and exemplifies some of the difficulties involved through reference to the situation in Catalonia, focusing on the nature of minoritisation, ethnolinguistic identity and ethnolinguistic vitality. In doing so, it suggests that such considerations would be crucial in any attempt to address Myhill's(1999:47) appeal for a 'logically consistent … synthesis' in language planning of what he sees asthe incompatible ideologies of language-and-identity and language-and-territory.
