A Grammar of Catalan Sign Language (LSC)

Chapter 3. Status

The status of a language depends on its official recognition by the political institutions of the country or territory where it is used, but it also depends strongly on the language planning and the attitudes of the community towards the language. This chapter presents a chronological account of the events occurred from the time Catalan signers realized they were using a different language until recently, when its legal recognition was achieved and some actions regarding language planning were launched.
