This study examines the role of new speaker parents who have made a conscious decision to bring up their children in Galician, a language which they themselves did not acquire in the home. Although intergenerational transmission has for long been considered a crucial part of linguistic vitality, new speakers bring complexity to this paradigm and in particular prompt questions about their role as parents and as potential agents of sociolinguistic change in the process of language revitalization. Through their individual as well as collective linguistic practices, new speaker parents have the potential to generate visible and/or invisible language planning on the ground, influencing their children’s language learning and creating future generations of speakers. As such, these parents, through their own linguistic behaviour, can play a potentially significant role in the revitalization and maintenance of Galician outside the school through their family language policies in the home. Drawing on two focus group discussions involving seven families in two of Galicia’s urban centres, Santiago de Compostela and Vigo, we investigate how these new speaker parents exercise their agency and become policy makers in their homes.

作为当代加利西亚草根政策制定者的新演讲者父母:意识形态、管理和实践

这项研究调查了新的母语父母的作用,他们有意识地决定用加利西亚语抚养孩子,加利西亚语是他们自己在家里没有习得的语言。尽管长期以来,代际传递一直被认为是语言活力的重要组成部分,但新说话者为这一范式带来了复杂性,尤其是他们作为父母的角色以及在语言复兴过程中作为社会语言学变化的潜在推动者的问题。通过他们的个人和集体语言实践,新的说话者父母有可能在实地制定有形和/或无形的语言规划,影响他们孩子的语言学习并培养未来的说话者。因此,这些父母通过他们自己的语言行为,通过在家中的家庭语言政策,可以在校外加利西亚人的振兴和维护方面发挥潜在的重要作用。借鉴加利西亚两个城市中心圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉和维戈的七个家庭的两个焦点小组讨论,我们调查了这些新演讲者父母如何行使他们的代理权并成为他们家中的政策制定者。
