The results of a nascent language emancipation in France: Perceptions of the status and future of Gallo in the context of its inclusion in Brittany’s language education policy
This paper sheds light on the attitudes that eastern or Upper Breton school pupils have toward their heritage language, Gallo, in the context of recent favourable changes to its socio-political status. Gallo is Brittany's Romance language and, more precisely, its Oïl language variety. Situated in the application of language emancipation and in considerations regarding attitudes and ideology and their importance to language policy, this is an anal…
Reassessing Gallo as a regional language in France: Language Emancipation vs. Monolingual Language Ideology
This paper discusses the applicability of language emancipation to the regional languages of France and shows that, from a historical and contemporary perspective, it is very relevant for these languages. In particular, Gallo, Eastern Brittany's O<l language variety, provides a pertinent grass roots illustration of many of the issues addressed through the concept of language emancipation. However, the historical and contemporary entrenchment of a…
Reclaiming Sámi languages: Indigenous language emancipation from East to West
The indigenous Sámi languages of the Nordic countries and North-West Russia have gained official recognition after a long period of neglect and assimilation policies. In the context of positive changes in state or macro level indigenous policy and especially that regarding language policy, this paper investigates what subsequently happens at the grassroots or micro level. This investigation shows that despite more positive policies, there is a st…
The role of Gallo in the identity of Upper-Breton school pupils of the language variety and their parents
Whilst recent studies have provided pivotal insights into the relationship between Bretons and the principle languages of Brittany, Breton and French, this paper aims to shed light on the relationship between Brittany’s northern French near language (Oïl) variety, Gallo, and the identity of the inhabitants of the territory with which it is historically associated, Upper-Brittany. This is done through questionnaires of both a quantitative and qual…
School and Extended Family in the Transmission and Revitalisation of Gallo in Upper-Brittany
This paper examines the transmission patterns of Eastern Brittany's Romance language variety, Gallo, based on quantitative data showing learning patterns of school pupils of the language and their parents in 2003 and 2004. Results confirm the sharp decline in Gallo transmission between generations. Nevertheless, Gallo transmission has not completely ceased. This study shows that for the pupil category, grandparents play a critical role in their a…
Martin Frobisher: Elizabethan Privateer
Adventurous and wilful, the swashbuckling Martin Frobisher was both a brave sea-commander who served Elizabeth I with distinction and a privateer who single-mindedly pursued his own interests. This highly entertaining biography provides the first complete picture of the life and exploits of Frobisher, from his voyages in search of the fabled Northwest Passage to his courageous resistance to the Spanish Armada and his activities as privateer and s…

Detecting Ancient Tuberculosis
Some diseases have played a more significant role in human development than others. Here we describe the results of a trial to diagnose ancient tuberculosis using chemical methods. Palaeo-epidemiological studies of the disease are compromised, but it has become apparent that tuberculosis (TB) is a 'population-density dependent' disease. From modern studies, it is also apparent that the prevalence of TB can be used as an indicator of the level of …
