Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A concise, accessible introduction to language endangerment and why it is one of the most urgent challenges of our times.A concise, accessible introduction to language endangerment and why it is one of the most urgent challenges of our times.58% of the world's languages-or, approximately 4,000 languages-are endangered. When we break this figure down, we realize that roughly ten percent of languages have fewer than ten language keepers. And, if one language stops being used every three months, this means that in the next 100 years, if we do nothing, 400 more languages will become dormant. In Endangered Languages, Evangelia Adamou, a specialist of endangered languages and a learner of her own community language, Nashta, offers a sobering look at language endangerment and what is truly lost when a language disappears from usage.Combining recent advances from the Western scientific tradition-from the fields of linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, language attrition, population genetics, and natural language processing-and insights from Indigenous epistemology, theory, and ethics, Adamou examines a wealth of issues surrounding endangered languages. She discusses where endangered languages are found, including how they are faring in a digital world, why these languages are no longer used, and how communities can reclaim languages and keep them strong. Adamou also explains the impact of language continuity on community and individual health and well-being, the importance of language transmission in cultural transmission, and why language rights are essentially human rights.Drawing on varied examples from the Wampanoag Nation to Wales, Endangered Languages offers a powerful reminder of the crucial role every language has in the vitality and well-being of individuals, communities, and our world. A concise, accessible introduction to language endangerment and why it is one of the most urgent challenges of our times.
