Up to ninety percent of humanity's traditional languages and
cultures are at risk and may disappear this century. While language
endangerment has not achieved the publicity surrounding
environmental change and biodiversity loss, it is just as serious,
disastrously reducing the variety of human knowledge and thought.
This book shows why it matters, why and how it happens, and what
communities and scholars can do about it. David and Maya Bradley
provide a new framework for investigating and documenting
linguistic, social and other factors which contribute to languages
shifting away from their cultural heritage. Illustrated with
practical in-depth case studies and examples from the authors' own
work in Asia and elsewhere, the book encourages communities to
maintain or reclaim their traditional languages and cultures.
