Demolinguistics in Catalan-speaking territories. The article starts by explaining the origins of demolinguistics and the reasons behind its
emergence and goes on to assess how it has stretched to other parts of the world. The paper
then goes into further depth on the emergence of this discipline in the Catalan language domain
and, in particular, its evolution in this sphere. This evolution is divided into four stages;
two of them date back to the past century and the other two date from the 21st century. The
paper then outlines themain issues that demolinguistics deals with in the Catalan sphere and,
to conclude, it lists a number of key challenges that the discipline faces.
