[Lingtyp] oral languages in modern societies

[Sergey Lyosov]

Dear colleagues,
doing fieldwork    on an oral Aramaic variety in Upper Mesopotamia (Turkey), I started wondering what is known about the behaviour of an oral language that has lost its “natural” setting in he traditional culture, especially due to a rush advent of Modernity, industrial/post-industrial society, school and mass-media in an official (state) language, etc.    Could you recommend me literature on the subject?
  Best wishes,
  Sergey
