Journal Article
Identity planning in an obsolescent variety: the case of Jersey Norman French
2009
Overview
This article examines some of the corpus and status planning initiatives prompted by the revitalization of obsolescent Jersey Norman French (Jèrriais) on the Channel Island of Jersey. These have yielded a somewhat paradoxical situation whereby the dialect is currently being fostered as a quintessential part of island identity, despite the fact that, at present, it is spoken only by some 3 percent of the population. The success of the revitalization movement is discussed-including issues such as the need to 'sell' the linguistic component of Jersey identity to Xmen via Yish-as is the changing nature of Jèrriais linguistic identity.
