Majorcan Catalan in San Pedro, Argentinathe case for an endangered heritage language variety /[electronic resource] :by Marc Gandarillas. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2024. - xxvi, 390 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Methodology -- Chapter 3. Historical and Cultural Background of the Majorcan Community in San Pedro, Argentina -- Chapter 4. Sociolinguistic Status of Majorcan Catalan in San Pedro, Argentina -- Chapter 5. Linguistic Characterization of San Pedro Majorcan Catalan -- Chapter 6. Conclusions and Discussion.

This book presents empirical and anecdotal evidence on the persistence of the variety of Majorcan Catalan that has been spoken since the 1850s in San Pedro, Argentina. Drawing on a series of 60-minute interviews (N=49) conducted with speakers recruited from the community, this study demonstrates how most participants appear to have preserved their heritage language to some extent, according to their observed Performative Language Competency levels (PLCs) Building on participants' firsthand accounts, additional historical, anthropological, and sociolinguistic details are provided to convey a vivid picture of the community, its traditions, speakers' attitudes to their heritage language, and the current status of San Pedro Majorcan Catalan in terms of endangerment. Within the field of understudied minority languages in the Americas, the reader of this volume will find an innovative, distinct approach to bilingualism in 'heritage vs. majority language' settings, which will be of interest to scholars and students with a background in sociolinguistics, bi- and multilingualism, and language policy and revitalization. Marc Gandarillas is an Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of North Dakota, USA. He holds a BA in Classics (2009), a BA in Linguistics (2014), and an MA in Ancient Cultures and Languages (2011)-all from the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain-as well as a PhD in Romance Languages and Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Florida, USA (2022) Among other spheres within the field of sociolinguistics, his recent research has focused on Catalan-speaking heritage communities in the Americas-particularly Argentina. Other interests of the author include bilingualism and multilingualism, anthropological linguistics, revitalization, and language policy.
