Abstract:

This book offers the latest insights on language documentation, a reborn,
refashioned, and reenergized subfield of linguistics motivated by the urgent
task of creating a record of the world’s fast disappearing languages. Language
documentation provides data to challenge and improve existing linguistic
theory. In addition, because it requires input from various fields to be
comprehensive, language documentation serves to build bridges between
linguistics and other disciplines. Language documentation also provides
resources for communities interested in language and culture preservation,
language maintenance, and language revitalization. This book informs, evokes
interest, and encourages involvement at all levels.
