[Lingtyp] Lingtyp Digest, Vol 54, Issue 24

[David Beck]

I haven’t seen the movie, which may be very entertaining, but it isn’t about a real language.  The synopsis here

makes it sound like fun, but not much like reality. I suppose if Avatar is inspirational for ecologists, something like this could be inspiring for linguists. 

Just saying.

> Yesterday, I watched a Dutch-Mexican film "I dream in another language (Sueño en otro idioma)", which is about a dying language of Mexico. I would recommend it to all typologists and those doing fieldwork on minority languages, as the film is truly touching and inspiring, especially to us linguists.
