Many of the world's languages have diminishing numbers of speakers
and are in danger of falling silent. Around the globe, a large body
of linguists are collaborating with members of indigenous
communities to keep these languages alive. Mindful that their work
will be used by future speech communities to learn, teach and
revitalise their languages, scholars face new challenges in the way
they gather materials and in the way they present their findings.
This volume discusses current efforts to record, collect and
archive endangered languages in traditional and new media that will
support future language learners and speakers. Chapters are written
by academics working in the field of language endangerment and also
by indigenous people working 'at the coalface' of language support
and maintenance. Keeping Languages Alive is a must-read for
researchers in language documentation, language typology and
linguistic anthropology.
