About: Nancy Dorian

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Nancy Currier Dorian is an American linguist who has carried out research into the decline of the East Sutherland dialect of Scottish Gaelic for over 40 years, particularly in the villages of Brora, Golspie and Embo. Due to their isolation from other Gaelic-speaking communities, these East Sutherland villages presented a good opportunity to study language death. Dorian's study is possibly the longest such study in the field. She is considered "a prime authority" on language death. Language Death: The Life Cycle of a Scottish Gaelic Dialect, her study into the decline of Gaelic in East Sutherland, is considered "the first major monograph" on language death. According to linguist Joan Argenter, Dorian's name "is well known to scholars working in" several areas of linguistics.

  • Nancy C. Dorian (Estats Units, 1936) és una lingüista estatunidenca que ha dut a terme la investigació sobre la mort del dialecte de Est del gaèlic escocès en els darrers 40 anys, particularment a les viles de , Golspie i . Va rebre el seu doctorat de la Universitat de Michigan i ha estat professora de lingüística i antropologia al Bryn Mawr College. Va treballar per al Linguistic Survey of Scotland el 1963, i aleshores hi havia poca expectativa de trobar parlants del gaèlic local però Dorian va trobar més de 200 parlants. El seu estudi sobre la disminució del gaèlic a l'est de Sutherland es considera un estudi important i detallat sobre les llengües mortes Va estudiar els joves que parlaven gaèlic però no amb freqüència (semi-parlants) i va prendre nota de llur capacitat d'adquirir fluïdesa ràpidament amb esforç.
