When Minor Is Minor and Major Is Major: Language Expansion, Contraction and Death.
Markey, T. L.
Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v8 n1-2 p3-22 1987
Provides a linguistically valid definition of minority language, as well as language expansion, contraction, and death. The definitional model presented features the establishment of a continuum which also is shown to have predictive power, yielding an effective operational definition of majority/minority status and predicting new data.
