This workshop is based on the HORIZON EUROPE project "RISE UP -
Revitalising Languages and Safeguarding Cultural Diversity"
https://www.riseupproject.eu/. The aim is to discuss methods, tools,
resources, initiatives, etc. from different contexts and communities
that promote the active use of a minoritised language or variety.
Language revitalisation has traditionally been associated with
intergenerational transmission.
This workshop goes beyond traditional categories and looks at
approaches that highlight the importance of entering new domains of
language use, expanding to so-called new speakers and emphasising
reclamation.
To give an example, the RISE UP combines the interest in new language
users with a linguistic
ecology approach and a usage-based approach to language learning,
which were summarised under the slogans "the power of new speakers",
"the danger of a single solution", and "use it, don't lose it". A core
theme is ideological clarification
which deals with the recognition and legitimacy of speakers and
varieties.
