Subject: Call for Chapters: Indigenous Language Acquisition, Maintenance, and Loss and Current Language Policies

 
We are pleased to announce a call for chapter proposals for the book entitled
'Indigenous Language Acquisition, Maintenance, and Loss and Current Language
Policies', to be published by IGI Global in 2020.

Proposal Submission Deadline: May 3, 2019

Propose a chapter for this book:
https://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/3965

Introduction: 
Language does change in a society and is affected by the government’s language
policy. Some countries or regions were under the administration of a major
power hence their education was conducted by the dominant’s language. Some
countries or regions are independent but employ the language of a major power
for education. What is the current situation of the indigenous languages in
these areas? Has the indigenous language been revived after being released
from colonization? If the indigenous language is influenced by the dominant
power’s language or another language, what are the influences?
This book will cover sociolinguistic analysis and linguistic analysis,
discussing the acquisition, maintenance, or loss of the indigenous languages
and the language policy.

Objectives:
This book will aim to provide relevant overviews and the latest field research
findings in the area. It will discuss maintenance, attrition, or loss of the
indigenous languages, language status in the society, language policies, or
the grammatical characteristics of the indigenous language that people
maintained and spoke. It will be written for researchers and graduate students
who want to expand their understanding of the current status of indigenous
languages in the world.

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 
- language acquisition
- language maintenance
- language attrition
- language loss
- language policy
- language contact
- language variety
- diglossia
- linguistic geography
- multilingualism
- language education

Submission Procedure:
