Description

Language endangerment represents a critical challenge for human knowledge and cultural diversity worldwide. This Routledge volume explores the fundamental rights of minority communities regarding their languages, examining how each language uniquely conceptualises the world and the irreplaceable knowledge lost when languages disappear. The book investigates the processes underlying language shift and how understanding these mechanisms contributes to broader linguistic theory. It addresses the typological insights at risk when undescribed languages vanish before their distinctive structural properties are documented, and provides practical approaches to stopping or reversing language decline. Comprehensive and research-driven, this work combines theoretical frameworks with actionable strategies for language preservation and maintenance.
