Endangered Languages in the 21st Century provides research on
endangered languages in the contemporary world, the challenges
still to be faced, the work still to be done, and the methods and
practices that have come to characterize efforts to revive and
maintain disadvantaged indigenous languages around the world. With
contributions from scholars across the field, the book brings fresh
data and insights to this imperative, but still relatively young,
field of linguistics. While the studies acknowledge the threat of
losing languages in an unprecedented way, they focus on cases that
show resilience and explore paths to sustainable progress. The
articles are also intended as a celebration of the twenty-five
years' work of the Foundation for Endangered Languages, and as a
parting gift to FEL's founder and quarter-century chair, Nick
Ostler. This book will be informative for researchers, instructors,
and specialists in the field of endangered languages. The book can
also be useful for university graduate or undergraduate students,
and language activists.
