New book by Professor Freixeiro Mato
October 2020

The professor of Galician and Portuguese Philology at UDC and member of ILLA publishes with Laiovento Idioma e sociedade. Sobre normalización e planificación da lingua galega.


This work reflects on the Galician language and addresses issues related to its normalization and planning, as well as other aspects of its links with society, always with the goal of finding the right way to grant it a dignified future as the national language of Galicia.

More than a book of Galician sociolinguistics, these are notes on various aspects of the social reality of the language made by a person who has been devoting much of his activity as a university professor to studying the Galician language from different angles.

Topics such as binormativism, sesquilingualism or ecolinguism occupy a prominent place, alongside more traditional ones such as bilingualism, linguistic imperialism or reintegrationism.
