social significance to the language community, such as the project’s capacity
for developing tools for pedagogy or revitalization, valorizing the language
within a broader social context, or (perhaps at the same time) introducing
points of tension regarding approaches to language teaching. They might also
include bringing a situation regarding a language community’s status to wider
