Azpeitia will explore the importance of respiratory spaces in the revitalization of minority languages
The importance of the Basque breath centres and their role in the processes of revitalizing minority languages will be discussed this week in Azpeitia at the international conference Arnasgunes in the Revitalization of Minority Languages , which will take place on 16 and 17 October at the Soreasu theatre from 9:00 to 18:00.
The event will be face-to-face and will last a total of 15 hours. Registration to participate will be open until October 15 .
As explained by the organizers, the aim of the conference is to reflect on the importance of respiratory areas in the revitalization of minority languages and to make proposals and measures to strengthen the sociolinguistic situation of minority languagesin respiratory areas.
Sociolinguistics, linguistic policies and social movements in favour of the Basque Country have focused their attention on the so-called "respite zones" in the Basque Country. Similar areas are known in Europe and the world as "high-density speaking territories", "language strongholds" or "Bernacular communities" in the field of minority languages and linguistic minorities.
In places like this, minority language is used more naturally , developing language habits, and it is transmitted from generation to generation, and is an appropriate centre of socialization and use for new speakers.
The Arnasgunes therefore play a strategic role in the future of minority languages and in the processes of revitalization, and the organizers stress that their sociolinguistic situation is often representative of the general health of the linguistic community, "because the community of non-respiratory speakers is in a state of extinction and the languages in a strong state have broad geographical airspace", as noted by Asier Basurto Arruti , member of the Sociolinguistic Cluster: "The sociolinguistic health of a respiratory area is usually a reflection of the general health of the linguistic community."
In this regard, the organizers stress the need for priority attention in public policies: "To stimulate and nurture social dynamics in these environments in favour of minority language, especially in terms of demographic, educational and socio-economic conditions, is to work towards the future of minority languages."
