<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Over the last decade or so there has been a surge in interest in the acquisition of small Indigenous languages across the world. There are a few significant reasons for this growth. Firstly, indigenous languages
are dying at an alarming rate, which means that now is often our last chance to study their acquisition. Secondly, there is a broad recognition among child language researchers that our theories of acquisition are skewed by the overrepresentation of data from
large European languages (especially English), whereas many children across the world are acquiring typologically under-studied languages (e.g. polysynthetic languages), often in situations of rapid language shift.

<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Field studies, in contexts such as remote communities, or investigations of minority language users’ development in multilingual societies will be of interest. A range of disciplinary perspectives, theoretical
positions, and methodological strategies is likely to be represented in the Special Issue.
