Résumé

The paper proposes to study language self-management in a context of linguistic minorization through the glottopolitical actions undertaken by speakers of two minority languages, Berber and Kurdish. Apart from a few recently emerging institutes with limited powers, these two languages have not had national institutions that could take charge of the main areas of glottopolitical interventions such as standardisation, the development of literacy, graphy, terminology, neology, documentation, etc. In the unfavourable conditions in which these languages evolve, the performance of these tasks falls to language speakers and professionals (writers, journalists, linguistic activists, etc.) who are led to develop strategies and means of glottopolitical intervention in their languages. The analysis of all glottopolitical actions (development of notation systems, grammar books and dictionaries, and collective commitment to the official recognition of languages) shows how they are part of a language self-management thought and shaped by speakers as glottopolitical actors.
