few days ago I made a summary TeleMadrid 's documentary on the English language in Catalonia. The feeling you let the documentary was that the World and Telemadrid had wanted to show falsely that chase you if you speak Catalan or Castilian is a "war" between languages. Yesterday,
23 Channel 33 issued a discussion on the health status of Catalan in the Agora program. Unfortunately an issue shorter than usual.
In this case I have noted the arguments that say the memory so I have left me any. But most important I think they are. These were his arguments by guest:
Miquel Pueyo, secretary of the Catalan language policy:
Catalan is not in the ICU, not get carried away by pessimism or defeatism. The Correllengua, the 30,000 volunteers (Parellada of conversation) who spend half an hour a day with people who have just arrived to Catalonia and want to learn Catalan, the fact that over 10% of parents talk to their children
Catalan, etc. Catalan is part of our culture and has certain threats to their survival to be considered but should not be a pessimistic and disappointing idea about your health.
Joel Joan, actor i platform member Sovereignties i Progrés:
Because the state does not protect protects the Catalan and Castilian? If did you end up with language problems. Suffice to allocate the same money that goes into Castilian and Catalan can talk about institutions, conferences, etc. As the English state does not do this you need a state to protect them. Miquel
Portaperales , i scriptor writer:
have to apply a liberal concept of the language. It is said that anyone willing to talk (at this point all forum participants agreed) and not on any protective measures. Ie free-market laws and culture. The strongest survive or "better." Prohibited any interference and are the citizens who decide how this should digress. Said that this was not because the Government had decided to discriminate positively (positive assertion by the secretary of the Generalitat) Catalan. And for example in schools did not ask what language you wanted to study, Castilian, Catalan or both.
Eugeni Casanova Journalist, professor i escriptor UPC:
According to various studies. All stateless languages \u200b\u200bhave disappeared or are in very bad situation. The English government has acted against all surgically new advances that have been in the area of \u200b\u200blanguage because it fears that a strengthening of the language adventures would lead to secession. It gives the example that in 1999 when it was about to get American distributors films dubbed into Catalan Mariano Rajoy traveled to Los Angeles to stop it. And he must be convincing.
been 30 years and are still doing Correllengua, volunteers linguistic, etc. without having more progress and now the talk without shame is that the Catalan eventually disappearing.
My views on ...:
On the liberal concept is fine. But if we talk in terms of market we forget about the forty years of Franco's interference in the "market" of language. Also forget that the Catalan or any language is the tip of the culture to which it belongs. And to treat culture as if they were my personal notes I'm afraid. I think that currently, under the cloak of liberal try to fit certain things that have a different name. The arguments of the guest fit me as saying the party is Ciutadans. And I see using the security measures most controversial Catalan to exploit feelings and cashing policy. Remember to calculate the need to protect the language. About
surgically the state acts against the progress of language, might you have done but there has been progress and the achievement of the linguistic domain. Cat on the Internet. If Zapatero had opposed this domain does not exist. I know that the selection of Catalan Hockey does not exist for the action of Zapatero. But progress in terms of language .. if any hail ... Case is dark but not so black.
Joel Joan's idea amused me. Seeing as expressed in the parliament in the regional languages \u200b\u200bseems a way of showing respect and integrate them all. The truth. Without going any further I think the Catholic kings ruled all the languages \u200b\u200bof the state. Castilian, Gallego, Euskera, Catalan and do not know if any more. Also grants to other languages \u200b\u200bfor example serve to increase awareness of music in Euskera and Galician. Of which very little is heard thing but what you hear is really nice.
For me, language is a vehicle for communication and a sample of each culture. Should be protected? Yes, I think we agree about all that. Be used to separate, to face? No. This is the case? You might particularly either side. Where is the border? I do not know. As speaking Castilian in Catalonia do not feel you have crossed that border. I usually express in Castilian. And when I speak Catalan or Catalan-speaking Catalan. And vice versa with me.
