panel will explore the phenomenon of "tip" in the shift of use of ancestral
languages by speakers in minority communities, from new points of view.
Dorian (1981) originally conceived of "tip" as a sudden phenomenon occurring
after a slow development of circumstances leading to the eventual decline in
community use of ancestral languages. But individuals also experience
"tip" when they abandon a language. And, can "tip" ever flow in the
other direction? Our goal is to open a new discussion of "tip" that
considers the individual nature of this social phenomenon (Messing 2003), and
the potential for "tip back" towards use of the endangered language(s) (Hinton
1994, 2001). What does recent ethnographic research tell us about the
nature of tip? What factors influence the use of the ancestral language
by individuals in specific speech events? What makes a person who knows a
language actually use it - or not? In language revitalization,
what social and linguistic conditions might favor "tip back," the reversal of
language shift? Papers in this panel will offer a diversity of
ethnographic perspectives on shifting uses of language(s), social
circumstances and perceptions of identity that can lead to language shift both
away from and back toward the use of ancestral tongues (Fishman 2001, Flores
Farfán 1996 Gal 1979, Hill 1993). <?/bigger><?/bigger><?/bigger><?/fontfamily><BR><BR>The abstract
