Boards show gentle handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A collection of essays that provides a global assessment of language endangerment. It combines theoretical frameworks for understanding why languages disappear with detailed regional reports from around the world. The book moves beyond simple statistics to explore the socio-political and economic drivers of language shift. The Nature of Endangerment: It distinguishes between "language death" (loss of speakers) and "language attrition" (loss of structural complexity), examining how globalisation and urbanisation accelerate these processes. Language Policy and Ideology: Contributors analyse how state policies, such as "one nation, one language" ideologies, actively marginalise minority tongues. Documentation and Revitalisation: The text discusses the ethical and practical challenges linguists face when documenting "last speakers" and the potential for digital archives to aid in future revitalisation efforts. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to "State of the Art" reports from every continent, providing a snapshot of linguistic diversity circa 2007: - Africa: Highlights the impact of "mega-languages" like Swahili and Hausa on smaller ethnic languages; - The Americas: Reports on the critical status of indigenous languages in both North and South America, focusing on the legacy of residential schools and forced assimilation; - Asia and the Pacific: Coverage of the extreme linguistic density of Papua New Guinea and the threats facing the diverse languages of the Caucasus and Siberia; - Europe: Examination of "lesser-used" languages like Saami, Breton, and various Celtic tongues. Key Contributions: The UNESCO Framework: Several chapters discuss the development of the UNESCO Vitality and Endangerment scale, which became the international standard for categorising how "at risk" a language is. This volume is considered an essential reference for sociolinguists, anthropologists, and policymakers. It is frequently cited for its comprehensive data and for highlighting that nearly half of the world's 6,000+ languages are currently under threat. -- Contents: Language Endangerment Throughout the World / Matthias Brenzinger; Classification and Terminology for Degrees of Language Endangerment / Michael Krauss; Threatened Languages in Hispanic South America / Willem F.
