PresentaciónLinguas minoritarias e futuro de Europa

Abstract

The journal Cuadernos Europeos de Deusto (CED) / Deusto Journal of European Studies has published this special issue “Minority Languages and the Future of Europe” on the occasion of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Chair of Galician Studies at the University of Deusto in the current academic year 2021-2022. The issue includes eight articles by leading specialists who reflect on the current situation of the so-called minority languages in Europe and, in particular, on the present and future of Basque, Catalan and especially Galician, as closer cases in this context. In line with its interdisciplinary approach, the editors accepted proposals from different fields and perspectives, taking into account the social, legal or political dimensions, as well as the linguistic and cultural ones. The various analyses provided pay particular attention to issues such as language legislation, standardization, the language use of young people in particular, or the importance of digitization, among others.
