Annotation

This paper discusses the vanishing of Breton-French diglossia since the 1950's, whilst Breton vernaculars and the new-Breton variety created by fin de siècle intellectuals, alongside an intermediate rural variety, survived, and how new media and bilingual education hightlight this rural variety, which constitutes a link with former vernaculars.
