Typology of Needs in Small and Minority Languages: Generally-Methodical and Specifically-Scientific Approaches
Abstract
The article analyses both generally-methodological and specifically-scientific principles of developing the typology of needs in a small or minority language. The results of the study show, that the identification need for a language may occur not only in the ethnic Karelians, but also in the natives of other regions living now in Karelia and aspiring to cultural integration.
