“[Catalan] Un idioma que nunca será como mi piel, pero sin cuya existencia no puedo sentirme a gusto en mi piel” (Maruja Torres (1997: 39) Un calor tan cercano. Madrid: Alfaguara) “A language that may never feel like my second skin but makes me comfortable in my first”. This article first evaluates the scope and limits of family language planning. Secondly, it assesses the intermingling of factors intervening in language ideologies and language trajectories. It then engages in a brief description of new speakers of Catalan. There follows a presentation of data on identification languages and L1 languages in contemporary Catalonia. Fourteen interviews with Spanish L1 partners in Spanish/Catalan and Spanish/French couples are then analyzed in detail. Lastly, the paper discusses the data and offers some conclusions.
