Minority Language Media Studies: Key Themes for Future Scholarship --; Contributors --; Index; restricted access N2 - Since the founding of television stations in Welsh, Catalan and Basque in the early 1980s, minority languages have gradually gained a new prominence, particularly in Europe. As globalisation has developed, questions concerning such languages and the effect that the media might have on them have become more urgent. This book is the first general study of the many issues raised by this situation. Fourteen researchers from across Europe and the USA examine questions such as the media needs of minority languages, the role of the media in language maintenance, the impact of digital media, and problems raised by translation. Case studies range from the representativeness of drama on Welsh television to Sign Language in the media. Taken as a whole, this book establishes the field of minority language media studies and forms an important basis for future research UR - https://doi.org/10.21832/9781853599651 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781853599651 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781853599651/original ER -
