Abstract:

Up to ninety percent of humanity's traditional languages and cultures are at
risk and may disappear this century. While language endangerment has not
achieved the publicity surrounding environmental change and biodiversity loss,
it is just as serious, disastrously reducing the variety of human knowledge
and thought. This book shows why it matters, why and how it happens, and what
communities and scholars can do about it. David and Maya Bradley provide a new
framework for investigating and documenting linguistic, social and other
factors which contribute to languages shifting away from their cultural
heritage. Illustrated with practical in-depth case studies and examples from
the authors' own work in Asia and elsewhere, the book encourages communities
to maintain or reclaim their traditional languages and cultures.
