In line with the stated themes of the Fourth International Conference on Minority Languages-(a) comparative research and similarities/differences among minority-language communities, and (b) theory generation-this paper will present an approach to a typological outline with which minority-language situations can be categorised. It is the latest development in a line of work reported on most recently in Riis (Edwards, 1988a) and in Noordwijkerhout (Edwards, 1988b). Previous work has provided a geographical underpinning, has referred to the sociolinguisic profiles of Ferguson, and Stewart (dealing with language functions, degrees of use, standardisation and writing, etc.), has examined the language 'ecology' studies of Haugen, Haarmann, and Giles, and has produced a rudimentary typological framework in which the categories 'speaker', 'language' and 'setting' are juxtaposed with dimensions including 'sociology', 'linguistics', 'psychology', and so on. The present paper summarises work done to date, suggests further directions, and attempts a justification for the methodology outlined.
