The Role of the Speaker in Language Obsolescence: The Case of Breton in Plougastel-Daoulas, Brittany.
Jones, Mari C.
Journal of French Language Studies, v6 n1 p45-73 Mar 1996
Examines the phenomenon of language obsolescence by focusing on Breton- and non-Breton-speakers in France. Investigates linguistic preference, intergenerational transmission and attitudes towards language planning in an attempt to determine the extent to which the speakers themselves are catalysts in the process of language death.
