Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Many of the world's languages have diminishing numbers of speakers and are in
danger of falling silent. Around the globe, a large body of linguists are
collaborating with members of indigenous communities to keep these languages
alive. Mindful that their work will be used by future speech communities to
learn, teach and revitalise their languages, scholars face new challenges in
the way they gather materials and in the way they present their findings. This
volume discusses current efforts to record, collect and archive endangered
languages in traditional and new media that will support future language
learners and speakers. Chapters are written by academics working in the field
of language endangerment and also by indigenous people working 'at the
coalface' of language support and maintenance. Keeping Languages Alive is a
must-read for researchers in language documentation, language typology and
linguistic anthropology.
