In order to distinguish between language-related ideologies, Ruiz (1984) proposed three language orientations, namely 'language-as-problem', 'language-as-right' and 'language-as-resource'.

Cross-nationally, urbanization is associated with the decline of minority languages and a shift towards national and official languages.

As plurilingual/multilingual research advances, factors that contribute to or hinder individual's flexible language use are still underexplored.

Puigdevall, Maite; Pujolar, Joan; Colombo, Alba – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2022

However, our research in Catalan…
