This volume grew out of the 36th International LAUD Symposium,
which was held in March 2014 at the University of Koblenz-Landau in
Landau, Germany. There is general consensus among language experts
that slightly more than half of today's 7,000 languages are under
severe threat of extinction even within fifty to one hundred years.
The 13 papers contained in this volume explore the dramatic loss of
linguistic diversity, why this matters, and what can be done and
achieved to document and support endangered languages especially in
the context of an ever increasing globalized world. The issue of
vanishing languages is discussed from a variety of methodologies
and perspectives: sociolinguistics, language ecology, language
contact, language policy/planning, attitudes and linguistic
inequalities.
