It is often said that the Strip and sold was their territory where Catalan-language most spoken in relation to its inhabitants, a kind of linguistic oasis that many are seeing now did not respond very well to reality, much the majority of the population lived there franjolina (and largely lives there) regularly in Catalan. This sociolinguistic my lockbox reality my lockbox and illusion this idyllic my lockbox been lying and denials, and today the new conditions of life and customs of the territory joined the new immigrants received (expressed in Spanish and other languages), and of course with the added setback of the language policy of the Government of Aragon, discriminatory denying the cultural diversity present in Aragon, is making the future of Gaza do not speak the language but this trend is reversed in the current situation where diglossia is already done (yet) clearer and younger generations adopt Spanish as the lingua franca of social use. There are many warning signs that we are coming from many authoritative my lockbox voices in the field, without calling the catastrophe, warn of the dramatic situation of Catalan in the Gaza aculturalisation and continue this process of self-hatred prevailing in the territory today. Here we have some examples and a real warning to boaters: * Natxo Sorolla (sociolinguist franjolí): "Among those born in the 90's using very sparingly, we are in the time of the turning point," "Teaching Optional my lockbox may depend my lockbox on teachers who have come from abroad and only Spanish; therefore, can be opposed simply because they see jeopardize their jobs, "he concludes. my lockbox In the article "From the Eastern Aragonese txapurreau" my lockbox just saying "The Strip has completed three decades of unresolved normalization in a rural setting with no immigration allowed to go shooting. my lockbox However all societies, even the more traditional set changes and five speaking regions of Aragon my lockbox are now a significant rise in immigration linked my lockbox to the agricultural economy, although the change point based on the behavior of native or immigrant from the rest of the state. " * The President of the Council of Lleida neighbor, John Rene, warned last summer could influence how this new language policy Aragonese government relations with its neighbors Lleida: "Breaking the absolute level of living and people need to Lleida want to continue to have with the people of Gaza, "forcing situations and approaches" that is more than the daily reality of the residents of Gaza, "he said. Although the content of the draft, Rene was confident that prevail in the "common sense" and many of the residents of the Strip "Catalan continue talking and thinking," as they have done for many generations. "'S headline of the story read: "Catalan in danger in the Gaza speaker." my lockbox * Chem Gibert, a psychologist and member of "Workshops for language" warned my lockbox of the social my lockbox situation in the Gaza towards the language and conditions of the possibility "of a future for the Western Strip "to my lockbox change the prevailing mindset of most people franjolina:" The obvious question my lockbox is a linguistic throwback view hard indifference. For most residents Fraga, language that has the really, is Spanish, my lockbox which supposedly is also ours. At school, both before and now instilled with jokes and bad sides, that the language my lockbox of the parents is something outdated and doomed to extinction. Do not overlook that many of the inhabitants of Gaza are illiterate in the language my lockbox you have popat, just as they were also the generations of Franco Catalan. In the picture there is the existing lack of linguistic awareness is not surprising. "* Finally, a study published in the UOC of the Institute of Catalan sociolinguistics on" Catalan in Aragon Strip, "concluded with these statements:
"The Strip Aragon is a mostly rural region, with ill-defined boundaries, which still suffers from constant demographic decline is known throughout the twentieth century, which lets you have it, for now, enough my lockbox instruments to protect their language.
The social prestige of the Spanish diglossic entrenched attitudes and ambiguous relations between language loyalty my lockbox and regional identity have led the majority of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip has accepted the dominance of Spanish and perceive my lockbox their language as an instrument of communication merely local family.
So far, the Aragonese government has done little to correct this situation. The fact that Catalan is not an official Aragon excludes many areas of use where it is present in other Catalan-speaking communities of the state.
