Kees De Bot (Ed.) Case Studies in Minority Language. Aila Review 10 (1993).

This issue of the AILA Review is concerned with research on language contact situations that have as yet not attracted much attention in the research literature. While there is a considerable body of literature on weil known cases such as Irish, Frisian or Gaelic on the one hand, and on languages of migrants, such as Turkish in Western Europe or Spanish in the USA on the other hand, much less attention has been devoted to the bewildering variety of minority languages in other parts of the world. The research reported on in this volume comes from different continents, and the contact situations described here are different from what is the common stock in maintenance and loss research so far.Table of contents:5 Kees DE ВОТ, Guest-editor's PrefaceKatherine LANG AN, Ambivalent attitudes in a conservative K'iche' community23 Elisabeth HOLM, Language values and practices of students in the Faroe Islands: a survey report37 Anna E.
