1 Language revitalization in two sister languages: The effects of language policy and planning in Irish and Scottish Gaelic July 23, 2015 Joseph W. Windsor University of Calgary
2 POPULATION The Data CENSUS YEAR Scottish population Scottish speakers (mono-lingual) Scottish speakers (bi-lingual) Irish population Irish speakers
3 The Question
4 The Question Do language policies, legislation and reversing language shift (RLS) efforts actually work, and can we quantify their success if so?
5 The Relevance Klingon speakers compared to other minority languages Minority Language Klingon
6 The Relevance While the success of RLS efforts is not news to those working in the field Governments and funding agencies continue to view RLS work as a master plan to do nothing (Fishman 1997 qtd. in Ó héallaithe 2002) in the absence of quantifiable results
7 Methodology Scotland Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act (2005)» Began collecting language data as British colonies (1861)» Economically and geographically similar» Ideas of language and independence linked» Gaelic stigmatized in many circles» Mass migrations Ireland Saorstát Éireann (1922)
8 Methodology Compile census language data from Ireland (CSO Ireland) and Scotland (ONS UK)
9 Methodology Compile census language data from Ireland (CSO Ireland) and Scotland (ONS UK) Correlate results with sociolinguistic and economic historical events
10 Methodology Compile census language data from Ireland (CSO Ireland) and Scotland (ONS UK) Correlate results with sociolinguistic and economic historical events Factor out external influences as best as possible
11 Methodology Compile census language data from Ireland (CSO Ireland) and Scotland (ONS UK) Correlate results with sociolinguistic and economic historical events Ask if the remaining changes (positive or negative) can be attributed to policy enactment or RLS efforts Factor out external influences as best as possible
12 Sociolinguistic correlations
13 Sociolinguistic correlations
14 Preliminary Observations 176% of 1861 comparator 25% of 1881 comparator
15 Considering Population
16 Number of Speakers Considering Economics * * Great Famine (RoI) Highland Clearances (Scotland) Isolationism (RoI) 2008 recession (ROI) 2008 recession (Scotland)
17 Irish-Speaking Population Considering Policy Saorstát Eireann 1922 Higher Education Grant 1973 Acht na dteanga Oifigiúla EU Official language status Before After
18 Gaelic-Speaking Population Artificial growth due to census question changes Considering Policy s Fight for Gaelic-medium education begins at local levels 2005 enactment of the Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act Combined total Mono-lingual Gaelic & Bilingual speakers
19 WRT: Policy implementation and enforcement Much has been attempted and a substantial amount of money has been spent on behalf of RLS in the Gaeltacht. To counteract the poverty which was endemic [ ] Agricultural improvement grants have been awarded, government-sponsored industries [ ] Assistance to those erecting houses in that region. As a result of such efforts, unemployment [has] decreased, but many English speakers have also been attracted there (Fishman 1997:126).

To counteract the poverty which was endemic [ ] Agricultural improvement grants have been awarded, government-sponsored industries [ ] Assistance to those erecting houses in that region. As a result of such efforts, unemployment [has] decreased, but many English speakers have also been attracted there (Fishman 1997:126). It was announced a few months after the [1973] election, that a pass in Irish would no longer be compulsory in state examinations [ ] it was also announced that an honours grade in Irish was to be henceforth worth two honours for the Higher Education Grant. The subsidy paid to Gaeltacht households by the government for keeping students attending Irish colleges was to be doubled. The Irish-language lobby was effectively bought off (Ó héallaithe 2002:169)

The subsidy paid to Gaeltacht households by the government for keeping students attending Irish colleges was to be doubled. The Irish-language lobby was effectively bought off (Ó héallaithe 2002:169) What does disturb me is the now quite apparent delaying tactics whereby recommendations are neither rejected nor implemented but simply surrounded by administrative silence and inaction [ ] after four years, I have come to the conclusion that I have been used not as a consultant but as an unwitting participant in a master plan to do nothing [ ] I have lately concluded that this is exactly what the Irish government wants (Fishman qtd in Ó héallaithe 2002:169)
22 Discussion» With adequate RLS policy, even during the economic downturn of 2008, (cp. 1930s-40s), Irish language speakers continue to be on the rise.» Previous trends can be correlated with historical events, but not so for the steady rise over the last decade.» The number of Irish speakers with a comparable population to 1861 has grown to more than 176% of its post-famine comparator.» With no RLS efforts in place, Gaelic speakers quickly fell to less than 2% of the population.» Following the 2005 Gaelic Languages (Scotland) Act, the language has seen its first official rise in the percentage of speakers (up speakers).» The arrest of the decline of speakers, and the subtle movement in a positive direction is an encouraging result, and can be directly correlated to RLS policy
23 Conclusion» Speaker counts are not positively correlated to:» Population» Economy Though most likely influences» Historical events» Speaker counts are positively correlated to:» Language Policy & Planning» Qualitatively, RLS Policy involves Speakers in the process influencing Speaker Attitude (Lynch 2014 and reference therein)
24 Conclusion» Speaker counts are not positively correlated to:» Population» Economy Though most likely influences» Historical events» Speaker counts are positively correlated to:» Language Policy & Planning regardless of implementation» Qualitatively, RLS Policy involves Speakers in the process influencing Speaker Attitude (Lynch 2014 and reference therein)
