The Language Situation In Andorra In The Light Of Epilinguistic Data
Abstract
The article examines epilinguistic information on the language situation in Andorra within the framework of research dedicated to the ethnography of language policy in this country. Despite the favorable situation for the only official language - Catalan, epilinguistic statements of language policy subjects indicate the expansion of the functionality of the Spanish language through its use “by default” as a language of communication between speakers of different languages, a language of social integration for migrants, a language of private business, and in a number of other spheres.
