• Resumen

  • The aim of this paper is to discover what the role of a satiric program in language revitalization in the Basque Autonomous Community is and how laughter is connected with language ideology. For that purpose two sketches of the program Vaya Semanita, which depict what looks like a regular adult Basque classroom, were analyzed. Also, messages from the official forum web site were analyzed and compared with the sketches. The results show that a satiric program presents a common reality to its audience and at the same time it raises awareness towards the importance of the linguistic shift in the Basque Autonomous Community
