Abstract:

Are we facing an immense wave of language death or a period of remarkable new
linguistic variation? Or both? This book answers this question by analysing
studies of language endangerment and loss along with those of language change,
revitalization and diversity. Using case studies from Russia and the EU, the
authors compare historical language variation to that of the present day,
arguing that accelerated language extinction can be considered a result of
colonization, modernization and globalization, but so too can many new
creoles, intertwined and mixed languages, new ethnic identities, new groups of
urban dwellers or migrant groups, all with their own distinct cultural traits.
The book therefore surmises that the linguistic heritage of today is
simultaneously more endangered and more diverse than ever before.
