After centuries of language policies that have oppressed Catalan, Catalonia implemented new language policy and planning measures to aid the resurgence of the language variety that "is the spiritual foundation of our [Catalonia's] existence" (Shabad & Gunther, 1982, p. 446). The Linguistic Normalization in Catalonia Law (1983) established that Castilian and Catalan must be taught at all levels and grades of non-university education, which has resulted in new generations of Catalan-speakers. Catalan is used in schools, media, administration, and for governmental purposes. As a result, Catalan has gained prestige in Catalonian society. This research looks at the ways in which the knowledge of Catalan affects a resident's ability to access education, employment, and social services. The data also reveals the connection between Catalan and prestige in present day Catalonia. 2013-04-29 English text Marietta College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1367240234 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marhonors1367240234 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
