This article is divided into three parts. Firstly, the introduction deals with the need to regard transmission, which includes interruption and revernacularisation, as a process that is essential for understanding the sociolinguistic reality of a language. This analysis is based on the theoretical principles of Social Psychology, Sociology and Sociolinguistics. Secondly, there is a brief summary of the studies which have been carried out so far in Catalan on this topic, both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view. And finally, the conclusion outlines some suggestions and proposals, including the need for a specific theoretical-methodological framework and specific terminology, the importance of using this type of combined quantitative and qualitative analysis, and the possibility of redirecting planning towards the recovery of the Catalan language within the family.
