Fulltext: Vol.1, No.3, 2000, 431-434.pdf (87.39KB) Isi artikel Adefinitional issue (‘language’ or ‘dialect’) becamean important element for language planning in the Torne Valley in Sweden where Meänkieli, a former Finnish dialect, was recognised by the Swedish state as a minority language. Dialects are not usually acknowledged and are viewed as being outside a language ecology, and are not planned in the same way as languages are. The recognition ofMeänkieli as a language rather than a dialect in the Swedish minority languages legislation is an important language-planning decision with the potential to affect thewhole linguistic ecology of the Torne Valley.
