Azpeitia will discuss the importance of breathing spaces for the revitalization of minority languages
The international conference will take place today and tomorrow at the Soreasu theatre in the Guipuzcoana town.
The importance of the breathing spaces of the Basque Country and their role in the processes of revitalizing minority languages will be discussed at the international conference Arnasgunes in the Revitalization of Minority Languages, which will take place today and tomorrow at the Soreasu theatre from 9:00 to 18:00.
The event will be face-to-face and will last 15 hours.
As explained by the organizers, the aim of the conference is to reflect on the importance of respiratory areas in reviving minority languages and to make proposals and measures to strengthen the sociolinguistic situation of minority languages in respiratory areas.
Sociolinguistics, language 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" and "Bernacular communities" in the field of minority languages and linguistic minorities.
In such areas, minority language is used more naturally, and consequently language habits are developed, 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 and in the processes of revitalization of minority languages, 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 perdition and the languages that are strong have broad geographical airspace", as noted by Asier Basurto, member of the Arruti Sociolinguistic Cluster, "The sociolinguistic health of a respiratory area is 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.
