Abstract:
This peer-reviewed collection brings together the latest research on language
endangerment and language rights. It creates a vibrant, interdisciplinary
platform for the discussion of the most pertinent and urgent topics central to
vitality and equality of languages in today’s globalised world. The novelty of
the volume lies in the multifaceted view on the variety of dangers that
languages face today, such as extinction through dwindling speaker populations
and lack of adequate preservation policies or inequality in different social
contexts (e.g. access to justice, education and research resources). There are
examples of both loss and survival, and discussion of multiple factors that
condition these two different outcomes. We pose and answer difficult questions
such as whether forced interventions in preventing loss are always warranted
or indeed viable. The emerging shared perspective is that of hope to inspire
action towards improving the position of different languages and their
speakers through research of this kind.
