Heritage language revitalisation and music
In this introduction to the special issue 'Heritage Language Revitalisation and Music', we consider how viewing the complex challenge of language precarity through the lens of music and music-making – and related modes of expression culture – reveals new solutions to language shift and loss. This volume's focus on language revitalization with and through music offers an innovative perspective in its emphasis on music as the primary point of encou…

Capturing Basque Witches, Releasing Lyrical Resources
On November 8, 1610, eleven Basque “witches” were burned at the stake in Logroño, Spain—six alive, five in effigy. Most of these “witches” were women. In this article, I show that the “witches” persecuted in Logroño and those “captured” by Pierre de Lancre in his treatise On the Inconstancy of Witches (1612) deviate widely from those captured in Basque song. The former represent male and female witches as sexually deviant, cannibalistic, poison-p…
Language Attitudes in San Sebastian
This paper examines the effects of Basque- versus Spanish-language schooling on the language attitudes of secondary school students in San Sebastian, in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC) of Spain. By mandating the teaching of Basque (‘euskera’) in schools, and by requiring Basque proficiency of civil servants, the Basque government is attempting to increase the utility and use of Basque. By teaching people Basque, the Basque Government is als…
Linguistic anthropology of education
Stanton Wortham & Betsy Rymes (eds.), Linguistic anthropology of education . Westport, CT: Praeger, 2003. Pp. 288. Hb $69.95. In his introduction to this volume, Stanton Wortham argues for the value of a linguistic anthropological approach to education. After all, “a society's beliefs about language – as a symbol of nationalism, a marker of differences, or a tool of assimilation – are often reproduced and challenged through educational institutio…
Language ideologies and practices in (en)gendering the Basque nation
This article argues that an androcentric Basque nationalist pedagogy is enacted in secondary schools in San Sebastian (Donostia), Spain. Textbooks present men as the exemplary Basque speakers and cultural agents by erasing women's contributions to Basque language and culture. Schools also contribute to a recursive language ideology, linking "authentic" ethnic identity, "naturalness," and solidarity with vernacular Basque, of which the most pragma…
Schooling, Language, and Ethnic Identity in the Basque Autonomous Community
Basque-versus Spanish-schooled students in San Sebastian, Spain, understand ethnic identity differently. The former are more likely to speak Basque and to consider the Basque language key to Basque identity. The latter are more likely to claim "biethnic" identities based on territory. The Basque case suggests that an understanding of educational efforts to reverse language shift require an examination of the language ideologies reigning in popula…
Privileging masculinity in the social construction of Basque identity
Following a framework developed by Susan Gal and Judith Irvine (1995), this article illustrates how Basque‐medium schools promulgate an androcentric vision of the Basque nation. First, male privilege is upheld in textbooks through the erasure of women's contributions to Basque language and culture, so that men appear as the quintessential Basque speakers and cultural agents. Secondly, language ideologies about Spanish and Basque recursively const…
