| Abstract: | John Aitchison & Harold Carter (eds.), Spreading the word: The Welsh language 2001. Talybont, Ceredigion: Y Lolfa Cyf., 2004. Pp. 160. Pb. £8.95. For three decades, John Aitchison and Harold Carter (A&C) have shouldered principal responsibility for interpreting the results of the decennial UK census as it relates to the use of the Welsh language in Wales. In this book A&C give their account of the 2001 census data on Welsh. First-level analysis of the 2001 data is available through an excellent government web site – but A&C's further, mainly geographically based analyses have become the standard resource for reading patterns of Welsh language maintenance and shift. |
