The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781138125124, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Contributors take an ethnographic approach, focusing on local practices and individual agency, drawing on research from a range of settings where minority languages are spoken.

Pia Lane is Professor in multilingualism at the Centre for Multilingualism in Society Across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the University of Oslo where she is PI of the project Standardising Minority Languages. Recent publications on standardisation: Lane (2015). Minority language standardisation and the role of users. Language Policy,14, 3, 263-283 & Lane (2016). Standardising Kven: Participation and the role of users. Sociolinguistica 30, 105-124 James Costa, previously a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oslo, where he worked on the standardization of Scots as part of the STANDARDS project directed by Pia Lane, is currently a lecturer at Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, where he teaches sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology and semiotics. He is also an affiliate of Lacito, a CNRS, Sorbonne Nouvelle and Inalco research unit. His current research seeks to understand how a nationalist, post-referendum public space is being constructed in Scotland, and how the standardization of the vernacular (Scots), or its rejection, has effects on who gets to be included or not in the public debate. He is the author of a monograph based on previous work on language revitalization in Provence, Revitalising language in Provence (2017). Haley De Korne conducts research and advocacy in relation to minoritized language communities, multilingual education, and language politics. She has participated in Indigenous language education projects in a variety of contexts, in particular in Oaxaca, Mexico, and is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan at the University of Oslo.
