The empirical research reviewed in the chapter focuses mainly on language behaviours related to code switching in encounters between members of contrasting ethnolinguistic groups. The first part of the chapter reviews intergroup processes affecting the development of language communities by focusing on the ethnolinguistic vitality of linguistic minorities and majorities in contact situations. Using the interactive acculturation model (IAM; Bourhis 2001a), the second part of the chapter provides an analysis of the language policies regulating the status of language communities in multilingual societies. The IAM proposes that the acculturation orientations of minority and majority group speakers can have an impact on the intergroup communication strategies they adopt during their intercultural encounters, resulting in harmonious, problematic or conflictual relational outcomes. The third part of the chapter provides an overview of communication accommodation theory (CAT; Giles & Coupland, 1991) which complements the IAM model in detailing the subtleties of the intergroup communication strategies used by minority and majority group speakers in their cross-cultural encounters.

The findings suggest that despite the poor current 'health' status of Aboriginal languages in these communities, and that formal ingroup language acquisition in these contexts may have some subtractive ele- ments, there are grounds for a more optimistic outlook. In particular, results showed high levels of ethnolinguistic identification, high value of ingroup language to identity, and high perceived illegitimacy of the current status of the ingroup language. According to current social psychological theory, this is likely to provide the necessary platform for language revitalisation in these communities.

Language data from the 1991 Canadian Census as well as other data from governmental, non-governmental and Aboriginal sources are discussed in the context of a social psychological framework of language maintenance and shift. It is concluded that societal empowerment of Aboriginal Peoples is urgently necessary and should include an explicit constitutional recognition of their linguistic rights .
