Abstract This article explores policy and pedagogical pliability as strategies for perpetuating and protecting regional languages, like Võro, in the twenty-first century. The concept of pliability, as I develop it in this article, refers to the flexibility and adaptability of policies that are free from prescriptive and strict mandates. By examining this case from Estonia, I posit that the notion of enrichment plays a significant role in shaping the pliability and durability of contemporary Estonian regional-language policy. Whether an intentional or accidental approach on the part of Võro-language supporters, an emphasis on enrichment effectively helps to position the regional-language speakers with the national majority and establish proximity to their political and cultural interests. The data for this analysis were gathered during a diachronic, qualitative yearlong, school-based ethnography of Võro-language teachers in southeastern Estonia in 2001–2002 and 2013–2014. As a result of this ethnographic analysis, I find that enrichment as an ideology carries significant implications across macro and micro levels of language planning for revitalization including contributing to the curtailment of possibilities for long-term legal recognition for the language, perpetuating a classroom emphasis on oral skills over written skills, and emphasizing the arts- and performance-based value of language learning. The article concludes with lessons learned from the pliability of policy and pedagogy for language revitalization efforts elsewhere in Europe and beyond.

政策和教学上的适应性:爱沙尼亚丰富的语言振兴

摘要本文探讨了政策和教学上的适应性,作为在21世纪使诸如Võro之类的区域性语言永久化和保护的策略。正如我在本文中所发展的,柔韧性概念是指不受规定性和严格授权约束的政策的灵活性和适应性。通过研究爱沙尼亚的这一案例,我认为,丰富的概念在塑造当代爱沙尼亚地区语言政策的柔韧性和持久性方面起着重要作用。无论是支持语言的人是有意还是无意的方式,对丰富性的强调都有效地帮助了以区域语言为主的讲者占大多数,并使其与政治和文化利益接近。此分析的数据是历时收集的,2001-2002年和2013-2014年,爱沙尼亚东南部Võro语言教师的定性一年制校本民族志。民族志分析的结果是,我发现丰富化作为一种​​意识形态在语言规划的宏观和微观层面对振兴具有重大意义,包括有助于减少对该语言的长期法律认可的可能性,从而使课堂上的重点长期存在。口头技巧胜过书面技巧,并强调语言学习基于艺术和表演的价值。文章最后总结了从欧洲和其他地区语言振兴工作的政策和教学方法的适用性中学到的经验教训。民族志分析的结果是,我发现丰富化作为一种​​意识形态在语言规划的宏观和微观层面对振兴具有重大意义,包括有助于减少对该语言的长期法律认可的可能性,从而使课堂上的重点长期存在。口头技巧胜过书面技巧,并强调语言学习基于艺术和表演的价值。文章最后总结了从欧洲和其他地区语言振兴工作的政策和教学方法的适用性中学到的经验教训。民族志分析的结果是,我发现丰富化作为一种​​意识形态在语言规划的宏观和微观层面上对振兴具有重大意义,包括有助于减少对该语言的长期法律认可的可能性,从而使课堂上的重点长期存在。口头技巧胜过书面技巧,并强调语言学习基于艺术和表演的价值。文章最后总结了从欧洲和其他地区语言振兴工作的政策和教学方法的适用性中学到的经验教训。我发现,丰富化作为一种​​意识形态在语言计划的宏观和微观层面上对振兴具有重大意义,包括有助于减少对语言的长期法律认可的可能性,使教室长期强调口语技能而不是书面技能,并强调语言学习基于艺术和表演的价值。文章最后总结了从欧洲和其他地区语言振兴工作的政策和教学方法的适用性中学到的经验教训。我发现,丰富化作为一种​​意识形态在语言计划的宏观和微观层面上对振兴具有重大意义,包括有助于减少对语言的长期法律认可的可能性,使教室长期强调口语技能而不是书面技能,并强调语言学习基于艺术和表演的价值。文章最后总结了从欧洲和其他地区语言振兴工作的政策和教学方法的适用性中学到的经验教训。
