Planning Change in Code-Switching: Theoretical and Practical Inferences from the Catalan Case

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The linguistic normalization processes presently being
developed in the Iberian Peninsula are important sociolinguistic
experiences of a great scientific interest, both from the applied
and theoretical focus angles. The conducti ve badies of all
processes demand clear and accurate theoretical foundations in
order to follow a course of action. The discipline of
sociolinguistics as such - that is, as a scientific discipline-,
demands constant analysis and reflectien concerning the different
situations existing, so as to mak.e headway in the deep and
encompassing knowledge regarding this area of reality. Theory and
practice prove in this case, as in many others, that they are
very closely related to one another, to the point of mutual
dependance. The present sociolinguistic situation in Catalonia offers
many theoretical and practical potential contributions. Within
this interesting range we selected the problem of planned
modification of inter-personal linguistic behaviours of the ethnic-linguistic autochthonous group regarding their usual
l
relationship with the numerous individuals of non-Catalan origin
who live at present in Catalonia. This is an issue of great
importance today in our country, and, very possibly, not
sufficiently studied at an international level
