Abstract:

Of the approximately 7,000 languages in the world, at least half may no longer
be spoken by the end of the twenty-first century. Languages are endangered by
a number of factors, including globalization, education policies, and the
political, economic and cultural marginalization of minority groups. This
guidebook provides ideas and strategies, as well as some background, to help
with the effective revitalization of endangered languages. It covers a broad
scope of themes including effective planning, benefits, wellbeing, economic
aspects, attitudes and ideologies.  The chapter authors have hands-on
experience of language revitalization in many countries around the world, and
each chapter includes a wealth of examples, such as case studies from specific
languages and language areas. Clearly and accessibly written, it is suitable
for non-specialists as well as academic researchers and students interested in
language revitalization. This book is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
