This state-of-the-art Handbook examines the reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages. The volume is relevant not only to researchers in language endangerment, language shift and language death, but to anyone interested in the languages and cultures of the world. It is accessible both to specialists and non-specialists: researchers will find cutting-edge contributions from acknowledged experts in their fields, while students, activists and other interested readers will find a wealth of readable yet thorough and up-to-date information" Language obsolescence Handbooks, manuals, etc Language and languages Handbooks, manuals, etc LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Linguistics / General bisacsh Bedrohte Sprache (DE-588)4602206-5 gnd Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Austin Peter K. 1952- (DE-588)133996271 IDSBB 490 0- Cambridge handbooks in language and linguistics IDSBB 700 1- Austin Peter K. 1952- (DE-588)133996271 ORANGE 277976626 SWISSBIB 277976626 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB B410 B410 410RD RO X S 240 NELB498B1412
