Download or read book Endangered Languages and Languages in Danger written by Luna Filipović and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This peer-reviewed collection brings together the latest research on language endangerment and language rights. It creates a vibrant, interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of the most pertinent and urgent topics central to vitality and equality of languages in today’s globalised world. The novelty of the volume lies in the multifaceted view on the variety of dangers that languages face today, such as extinction through dwindling speaker populations and lack of adequate preservation policies or inequality in different social contexts (e.g. access to justice, education and research resources). There are examples of both loss and survival, and discussion of multiple factors that condition these two different outcomes. We pose and answer difficult questions such as whether forced interventions in preventing loss are always warranted or indeed viable. The emerging shared perspective is that of hope to inspire action towards improving the position of different languages and their speakers through research of this kind.

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique collection of articles in honor of Marianne Mithun represents the very latest in research on language contact and language change in the Indigenous languages of the Americas. The book aims to provide new theoretical and empirical insights into how and why languages change, especially with regard to contact phenomena in languages of North America, Meso-America and South America. The individual chapters cover a broad range of topics, including sound change, morphosyntactic change, lexical semantics, grammaticalization, language endangerment, and discourse-pragmatic change. With chapters from distinguished scholars and talented newcomers alike, this book will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in internally- and externally-motivated language change.

Download or read book Halte à la mort des langues written by Claude Hagège and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2000 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Sait-on qu’en moyenne, il meurt environ 25 langues chaque année ? Il existe aujourd’hui dans le monde 5 000 langues vivantes. Dans cent ans, si rien ne change, la moitié de ces langues seront mortes. À la fin du XXIe siècle, il devrait donc en rester 2 500 environ, et sans doute beaucoup moins encore si l’on tient compte d’une accélération, fort possible, du rythme de disparition. Certes, comme les civilisations, les langues sont mortelles, et le gouffre de l’histoire est assez grand pour toutes. Pourtant, la mort des langues a quelque chose de tout à fait insolite, et d’exaltant quand nous nous en avisons : les langues sont capables de résurrection ! Mais la vigilance s’impose, faute de quoi toutes sont menacées, y compris le français. » C. H. Claude Hagège est médaille d’or du CNRS, et professeur au Collège de France. Il est, notamment, l’auteur de L’Enfant aux deux langues, Le Français et les siècles, qui ont été d’immenses succès.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Polysynthesis written by Michael Fortescue and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 1089 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers an extensive crosslinguistic and cross-theoretical survey of polysynthetic languages, in which single multi-morpheme verb forms can express what would be whole sentences in English. These languages and the problems they raise for linguistic analyses have long featured prominently in language descriptions, and yet the essence of polysynthesis remains under discussion, right down to whether it delineates a distinct, coherent type, rather than an assortment of frequently co-occurring traits. Chapters in the first part of the handbook relate polysynthesis to other issues central to linguistics, such as complexity, the definition of the word, the nature of the lexicon, idiomaticity, and to typological features such as argument structure and head marking. Part two contains areal studies of those geographical regions of the world where polysynthesis is particularly common, such as the Arctic and Sub-Arctic and northern Australia. The third part examines diachronic topics such as language contact and language obsolence, while part four looks at acquisition issues in different polysynthetic languages. Finally, part five contains detailed grammatical descriptions of over twenty languages which have been characterized as polysynthetic, with special attention given to the presence or absence of potentially criterial features.

Download or read book South Eastern Huastec Narratives written by Ana Kondic and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Eastern Huastec, a Mayan language from Mexico, has never before been written down. Although the master storytellers of the language are long gone, today’s older generations preserve the vast knowledge of their culture in speech. That spoken heritage in South Eastern Huastec—ranging from traditional house-building techniques to herbal remedies and funerary practices—is gathered here and transcribed for the first time. Collected and recorded by Ana Kondic in the village of San Francisco Chontla in La Sierra de Otontepec, Veracruz, Mexico, between 2007 and 2011, and translated into English and Spanish, the accounts in this landmark trilingual collection provide a rare opening into South Eastern Huastec traditions, oral literature, and daily life. Kondic divides South Eastern Huastec Narratives into five thematic sections: traditional practices, contemporary life, stories, songs, and customary foodways. Within these categories, eighteen Huastec narrators describe local beliefs, religion, rituals, and cosmology as observed in cleansing ceremonies and celebrations. They detail building methods and traditional craftsmanship, the care of children, daily routines, and use of the South Eastern Huastec language itself. They recount stories and legends—of killer coyotes, drunken horsemen, and encounters with death—and explain the preparation of tamales, coffee, and hand-pressed tortillas. Wherever possible, Kondic retains in her transcriptions the unique characteristics of each speaker’s voice—the self-corrections, repetitions, and pauses. Her morphological analysis of South Eastern Huastec will help experts understand the language more deeply. An accompanying audio-video DVD-ROM allows readers the rare chance to hear and see these narrators tell their stories in their own language. Of the approximately 100,000 people who speak the Huastec language, only about 12,000 use the South Eastern variety presented here. As the only book recording and analyzing this endangered language, this collection of narratives is a crucial document for preserving the South Eastern Huastec language, and the remarkable culture it conveys. The book includes a CD-ROM with both audio and video tracks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les langues sont menacées. Selon certaines estimations, ce sont 90% des langues de la planète qui risquent de disparaître au cours du XXIe siècle. Mais l’écologie des langues dépasse la problématique de la disparition des langues en ce qu’elle constitue avant tout un modèle qui tente d’expliquer la communication sociale permettant ainsi de prendre en compte de nombreux facteurs susceptibles d’expliquer l’épanouissement des langues, leur maintient au cours des âges, leur fragilisation ou leur disparition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une reduction massive du nombre des langues est en cours. Sur environ 6000 parlees aujourd'hui environ la moitie risquent de disparaitre au cours du siecle a venir. Les causes de cette reduction se trouvent dans l'expansion du monde moderne aux depens de petites societes traditionnelles dont les langues ne parviennent pas a se maintenir face a la concurrence de langues porteuses de modernite culturelle et economique. Il est urgent pour les linguistes actifs aujourd'hui de decrire les langues proches de l'extinction avant qu'elles ne disparaissent. Dans cet article on presente des notions generales et des informations pratiques sur les actions menees par differentes organisations et associations internationales visant au maintien de la diversite linguistique de l'humanite et a la description des langues en danger.

Download or read book Indigenous Struggles for Autonomy written by Luciano Baracco and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Struggles for Autonomy: The Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua offers a broad and comprehensive analysis of Nicaragua’s Caribbean Coast and the process of autonomy that was initiated in 1987 as part of a wider conflict resolution process during the years of the Sandinista revolution and has continued through to the present day. Over its 30 year period of development, the autonomy process on Nicaragua’s Caribbean Coast can be seen as a crucible for the autonomous struggles of minority peoples throughout the Latin American continent. Autonomy on Nicaragua’s Caribbean Coast remains highly contested, being simultaneously characterized by progress, setbacks, and violent confrontation within a number of fields and involving a multiplicity of local, national, and global actors. This experience offers critical lessons for efforts around the world that seek to resolve long-established and deep-seated ethnic conflict by attempting to reconcile the need for development, usually fostered by national governments through neo-extractivist policies, with the protection of minority rights advocated by marginalized minorities living within nation states and, increasingly, by intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of American States. This book presents analyses that reveal the broad implications for the struggle for autonomy on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, conducted by scholars with expertise in an array of disciplines including sociology, globalization theory, anthropology, history, socio-linguistics, cultural and postcolonial studies, gender studies, and political science.

Download or read book Strategies for Knowledge Elicitation written by Tatiana B. Agranat and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an overview of experimental methods, approaches, and techniques used by field linguists of the Russian school, and highlights the fieldwork experience of Russian scholars working in regions with a range of languages that differ genetically, typologically, and in the degree of their preservation. The collection presents language and sociolinguistic data relating to fieldwork in diverse languages: Uralic, Altaic, Paleo-Siberian, Yeniseian, Indo-European Iranian, Vietic, Kra-Day, and Mayan languages, as well as pidgin. The authors highlight the fieldwork techniques they use, and the principles underlying them. The volume’s multidisciplinary approach covers linguistic, ethnolinguistic, sociolinguistic, educational, and ethnocultural issues. The authors explore problems associated with the study of minority languages and indicate diverse and creative techniques for data elicitation. Close collaboration with speakers lies at the core of their approach. The collection presents strategies for eliciting systems of knowledge from mother-tongue speakers, triggering linguistic self-awareness, and providing semantic and morphosyntactic context for their languages. This publication is intended for academics, and for specialists in the field of linguistics and minority and indigenous languages. It will also benefit students as a guide to field research, as well as language activists, interested in documenting and preserving their mother tongue.

Download or read book Sensory Experiences written by Danièle Dubois and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensory Experiences: Exploring meaning and the senses describes the collective elaboration of a situated cognitive approach with an emphasis on the relations between language and cognition within and across different sensory modalities and practices. This approach, grounded in 40 years of empirical research, is a departure from the analytic, reductive view of human experiences as information processing. The book is structured into two parts. Each author first introduces the situated cognitive approach from their respective sensory domains (vision, audition, olfaction, gustation). The second part is the collective effort to derive methodological guidelines respecting the ecological validity of experimental investigations while formulating operational answers to applied questions (such as the sensory quality of environments and product design). This book will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners dealing with sensory experiences and anyone who wants to understand and celebrate the cultural diversity of human productions that make life enjoyable!
