The Cambridge Handbook of Endangered Languages

Lé bliogue Endangered Languages and Cultures rapporte:

CUP Handbook of Endangered Languages

The Cambridge Handbook of Endangered Languages edited by Julia Sallabank and myself will be available in the UK next week (and in Australia in June). The book is being launched by Mari Jones at the conference on Language Endangerment: Documentation, Pedagogy, and Revitalization at Cambridge on 25th March.

The Handbook covers issues in linguistic diversity and language endangerment, language documentation and archiving, revitalisation and language support, and challenges faced by endangered languages now and in the future. The volume is intended to be 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.
