seeing is the notion that languages that have been well documented are not
dead, but 'sleeping' or 'dormant' -- A very nice presentation at the GURT
conference recently was by Wesley Leonard (Miami) who suggested a revised
classification of languages based on the fact that some languages are just
'sleeping' -- and can be reawakened with new approaches and commitment to
revitalization. <br>

It's that "repetitive" thing you know: Experts . . .
. Language dead . . .<br>
<br>
And we hear it over and over and over, like a mantra. When I saw that thing<br>
come in about Cherokee today, I really wanted to peak over the edge of my <br>
cubicle and say, Nope, that's not true. We are doing all these things over<br>
here to make sure its not true.<br>
<br>
Hope you are well.<br>

Mia's theory of a self-fulfilling prophecy implies that people listen to<br>
experts, which I'm not convinced about at all :)<br>
