The project examines the revitalisation of a North- and a Lule-Sámi variety in two communities of speakers from the perspective of linguistic interaction.

An important issue in the context of language revitalisation is the speakers' personal engagement, their evaluation of the values and meanings of their ethnic heritage language, and their emotions and attitudes towards it. This is expressed through language in interaction with others and embedded in a complex situational, social and cultural context.
