This book advocates for a new model of describing the practices of
language revitalization, and decolonizing the research methods used
to study them. The volume provides a comprehensive treatment of the
theoretical and methodological foundations of working with
communities revitalizing their languages. It lays out the
conceptual framework at the heart of the project and moves into a
description of the model, based on a seven-year research process
working with Aboriginal communities in eastern Australia. Six case
studies show the model's application in language revival practice.
The book critically engages with the notion of revival languages as
emergent and ever-transforming and develops a holistic approach to
their description that reflects Aboriginal language practitioners'
understandings of the nature of language. It seeks to demonstrate
how the conceptual tools developed from this approach can support
efforts to develop deeply collaborative research, highlight the
diversity of language revitalisation practice and map between the
realms of old and new, local and global, and the social, cultural,
and textual dimensions of language, making this an ideal resource
for researchers and scholars in sociolinguistics, linguistic
anthropology, education, cultural studies, and post-colonial
studies.
