Reseña del editor

The theme of this Conference was 'Comparative Research on Minority Languages and the Development of Theories'. The three previous conferences focused mainly on problems of definition, on language in society and on the linguistics of minority languages. In this volume, the editors have tried to go forward by concentrating on the one hand, on comparative research regarding minority languages, and on the other hand, on the development of theories in this field. We have welcomed a confrontation of different emerging theoretical perspectives. Western and Eastern Papers are published in the companion Volume II.
