Abstract:

How does a language community sustain their language in the face of
ever-increasing forces of language shift? This volume, both a textbook and a
handbook, is the result of ten years of re flection by the authors in light of
SIL International’s 80 years of fieldwork in local language communities. Using
the Sustainable Use Model detailed here, readers work towards ongoing
maintenance of their language at a sustainable level. This could include, not
only the level of active literacy, but also levels of orality and identity.
The book is aimed at “on the ground” workers involved with a community, to
address issues arising from language and culture contact.
