>Information and communications technology, and in particular the World
>Wide Web, can be a double-edged sword as regards the maintenance and
>revitalisation of minority languages. On the one hand, minority language
>communities can be active shapers of these technologies, creating their
>own tools, adapting existing tools to local needs, and creating culturally
>authentic, indigenous electronic media. On the other hand, these
>technologies can be seen as a force for globalisation and
>neo-colonisation, reinforcing the existing dominance of majority languages
>and breaking down geographical boundaries that in the past may have
>protected minority language groups.
>
>Researching the effects of multimedia and the Web on minority languages is
>challenging, and it is not yet clear how best to utilise these
>technologies to maintain and revitalise minority languages. This special
>issue invites researchers and practitioners who are actively engaged in
>addressing these issues from practical or theoretical viewpoints to share
>their findings and experiences and to contribute to a platform for future
>research. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
>
>Minority language applications:
>"designing, implementing and evaluating applications" measuring the
>impact of applications on language use " promoting indigenous production
>and participatory design
>
>Influence of ICTs on minority languages:
>" adaptation of languages to online environments, e.g., Romanisation "
>behaviour of minority language speakers in online environments
>
>Measuring online minority languages:
>" quantitative and qualitative measurement of online presence and use "
>content related analysis of online presence and use
>
>Strategic issues:
>" understanding barriers to online minority language use " integrating
>multimedia and the Web into language planning
>
