The CLaM 2021 study (Cimbrian Ladin Mòcheno 2021) investigates the practices of language use and the attitudes of the inhabitants towards the minority languages spoken in the German-speaking communities of the Province of Trento and in the historic Ladin-speaking communities of the Provinces of Trento, Bolzano, and Belluno.
The survey relies on a questionnaire comprising forty questions to obtain a statistically significant sample of informants belonging to the minority language communities involved. The questions are designed to gather information on how local languages are used in different situations and with different interlocutors, and to explore the attitudes and ideologies that impact language transmission and intra-generational communication as an within families or interruptions in transmitting and communicating, like also a further understanding of minority language usebeyond the family element of enhancing the territorial valorisation.
The data gathered reflects the current linguistic situation of Cimbrian, Mòcheno, and the historical Ladin Dolomitian. Analyzing this data lays the groundwork for developing targeted language policy guidelines with the goal of revitalising and promoting these highly endangered local languages, while also identifying strategies to counteract the ongoing challenges of language attrition and language loss.
The purpose of this study is, therefore, not only to acquire knowledge, but to be application-oriented as well. The recording of these sociolinguistic scenarios is a crucial step towards designing precise decisions to enhance multilingualism.
