Subject: Call for Chapters: Handbook on Endangered South Asian Languages

 
Title: Handbook on Endangered South Asian Languages

Concept Note:
The UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger is intended to raise
awareness about language endangerment and the need to safeguard the world’s
linguistic diversity among policy-makers, speaker communities, and the general
public, and to be a tool to monitor the status of endangered languages and the
trends in linguistic diversity at the global level. It is also reported that
more than 50% of the world's endangered languages are located in just eight
countries: India, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Indonesia, Nigeria, Papua New
Guinea, and Cameroon. In these countries and around them are the areas that
are the most linguistically diverse in the world.

Invitation: 
Here is an opportunity to contribute chapters for the forthcoming volume that
we are editing, entitled “Handbook on Endangered South Asian Languages” to be
published by Springer Nature, one of the best and internationally acclaimed
publishers in academic research. We take this opportunity to cordially invite
you to submit your unpublished, original work that aligns with the title of
the book for consideration of publication. The proposed anthology desires to
record and highlight linguistic features and properties as well as
extralinguistic aspects and issues that are linked up with the protection,
preservation, and promotion of endangered South Asian languages. It also likes
to refer to the typical and unique language and culture-specific issues as
well as geoclimatic and sociocultural factors that pose serious challenges in
language data and information collection, data analysis, and information
interpretation by scholars working on endangered South Asian languages. The
present volume desires to focus on all these aspects and issues relating to
the endangered language documentation. It will include abridged descriptions
on endangered languages, description and analysis of linguistic features of
endangered South Asian languages, and theoretical, methodological,
operational, and applicational issues, aspects, and challenges that are linked
with the collection, management, processing, analysis, and utilization of data
and information from endangered South Asian languages.
