The social history of languages is a field of research that is growing internationally. Although there are many monographs in this field, it lacks a general and widely accepted theoretical and methodological framework. The Social History of Basque project has sought to make a contribution and offer a proposal to international researchers, especially those working in the fields of sociolinguistics and sociology of language.
'Taxonomy Proposal for the (Historical) Sociology of Language Research...', a new contribution to international researchers
- Euskaltzaindia has been a pioneer in the methodological development of the social history of languages. Euskaltzaindia's project Euskararen Historia Soziala (Social History of the Basque language) is the Academy's main project in this area of research. Our researchers have developed a new methodology and theoretical framework that the Academy wishes to share with researchers and interested parties around the world through the publication of the book Taxonomy proposal for the (historical) sociology of language research: A Basque Contribution (Euskaltzaindia 2024), written by Mikel Zalbide and Lionel Joly.
- It has been published by Euskaltzaindia in collaboration with Iberoamericana-Vervuert.
