At a time when many of the world's languages are at risk of
extinction, the imperative to document, analyse and teach them
before time runs out is very great. At this critical time new
technologies, such as visual and aural archiving, digitisation of
textual resources, electronic mapping and social media, have the
potential to play an integral role in language maintenance and
revitalisation. Drawing on studies of endangered languages from
around the world - Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America
- this volume considers how these new resources might best be
applied, and the problems that they can bring. It also re-assesses
more traditional techniques of documentation in light of new
technologies and works towards achieving a practicable synthesis of
old and new methodologies. This accessible volume will be of
interest to researchers in language endangerment, language typology
and linguistic anthropology, and to community members working in
native language maintenance.
