- Title
Contested varieties and competing authenticities: neologisms in revitalized Breton.
- Authors
Hornsby, Michael; Quentel, Gilles
- Abstract
'Revitalized' or 'neo' Breton as a contested variety exhibits a number of features of a language which has been revitalized from the 'bottom-up', including a lack of acceptance of certain neologisms, particularly those coined (it is claimed) from a 'purist' or 'nationalist' provenance. Here, we explore how these neologisms are contested through the prism of language ideology and how competing claims to Breton 'authenticity' are being played out in a variety of arenas, including internet fora.
