Chapter 13. Demolinguistics in Catalan-speaking territories
-
Joaquim Torres
Abstract
The article starts by explaining the origins of “demolinguistics” and the reasons behind its emergence and goes on to assess how it has stretched to other parts of the world. The paper then goes into further depth on the emergence of this discipline in the Catalan language domain and, in particular, its evolution in this sphere. This evolution is divided into five stages; two of them date back to the past century and the other three date from the 21st century. The paper then outlines the main issues that demolinguistics deals with in the Catalan sphere and, to conclude, it lists a number of key challenges that the discipline faces.
