La transmissió lingüística intergeneracional en parelles mixtes a Mallorca

Abstract

This doctoral thesis tries to describe the situation of the transmission of the Catalan language in mixed linguistic couples in Majorca, in which one of the two members speaks Catalan as first language and the other, Spanish. The first part, which is theoretical, has four chapters: the theoretical frames of the investigation, the study of the current sociolinguistic situation in Majorca, the concept of linguistic intergenerational transmission and finally, the description of the methodological principles applied. The second part, which is more analytical, has three chapters: the interviewed families have been characterized linguistically from their testimonies and the study of three variables (identity, context and socialization). Conclusions and attached documents conclude the work.
