在这期特刊中，我们将研究和反思欧洲少数民族语言中出现的“新语言者”。“新说话者”的标签在这里用来描述很少或没有家庭或社区接触少数民族语言，但通过浸入式或双语教育方案，振兴项目或作为成人语言学习者获得它的个人。这种说话者的形象的出现使我们注意到少数语言社区由于全球化和这种新的社会秩序正在创造的新的说话者形象而发生变化的方式。这一概念还将我们的注意力集中在一些长期以来在许多社会语言学研究中被视为理所当然的基本原则上，特别是与语言振兴相关的语言规划（O'Rourke and Pujolar 2013）。本期八篇文章的作者通过对巴斯克地区、布列塔尼、加泰罗尼亚、科西嘉、加利西亚、爱尔兰、马恩岛和奥克西塔尼亚等各种欧洲背景下的新发言者社区的分析来探讨这些问题。
In this special issue we examine and reflect upon the emergence of “new speak ers” in the context of some of Europe’s minority languages. The “new speaker” label is used here to describe individuals with little or no home or community exposure to a minority language but who instead acquire it through immersion or bilingual educational programs, revitalization projects or as adult language learners. The emergence of this profile of speaker draws our attention to the ways in which minority linguistic communities are changing because of globalization and the new profiles of speakers that this new social order is creating. The concept also focuses our attention on some of the fundamental principles which had for a long time been taken for granted in much sociolinguistic research and in particular, language planning associated with linguistic revitalization (O’Rourke and Pujolar 2013). The authors of the eight articles included in this issue engage with these issues through their analyses of new speaker communities across a variety of European contexts including the Basque Country, Brittany, Catalonia, Corsica, Galicia, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Occitania.
