Example text

A number of scholars have carried out sociolinguistic fieldwork in an attempt to account for the actual usage of the language as opposed to relying on census figures. For example, Ó Riagáin (2007) found that just 7 per cent of the population of Northern Ireland reported themselves as Irish speakers. A 1997 Euromosaic report on the use of Irish in Northern Ireland found that there was limited intergenerational transmission of the language. Similarly, Mac Giolla Chríost (2000: 471) found that the ‘use of the Irish language is limited to very clearly defined networks centred on the immediate family, friends, the school, church and, for some adults, the workplace’.

LPP initiatives that originate at the micro level draw on the knowledge of local language ideologies and practices and use such knowledge to utilize and develop resources that meet the needs and wants of the actual and potential language users. Drawing on an examination of the Irish context, Mac Giolla Chríost (2006) argues that micro-level LPP has the potential to play a significant role in language revitalization policies, specifically those aimed at reversing language shift. The ethnography of language policy put forward by McCarthy (2010) examines how micro-level interaction relates to macro-level social organization.

Agency at the epicentre of the dynamic approach to LPP favoured here. The idea of what constitutes Globalization and Minority-Language Policy and Planning 21 agency is debated frequently in LPP literature (Canagarajah, 2005; Menken and Garcia, 2010). For the most part, it is agreed that LPP brokers, be they classified as agents or actors, are involved in sociolinguistic transformations. For many, the terms LPP agent and LPP actor are used synonymously. Yet, I propose a key distinction between the two terms.
