Summary

The new Law of the Catalan language was approved in December of 1997 in the Parliament of Catalonia by a decision taken by the majority of its deputies. The principal challenge of the law is to strengthen the use of Catalan in all the social areas; however, the means to be employed to this end obtain have raised numerous polemics, of a political nature at the very least. This article covers the changes that the Law of the Catalan language can provide to society in the near future, and it also outlines certain problems that these provisions could raise in everyday practice.
