Ethnolinguistic Vitality

Abstract

Ethnolinguistic vitality is a group's ability to maintain and protect its existence in time as a collective entity with a distinctive identity and language. It involves continuing intergenerational transmission of group's language and cultural practices, sustainable demography and active social institutions, social cohesion, and emotional attachment to its collective identity. This article identifies the key stages of the development of the concept, and the main theoretical models with an outline of their core elements.
