Sommario/riassunto

An excellent introduction to the complicated issues of language reconstruction, this concise guide explores languages that are no longer spoken or those that are spoken by only a few people. Each contributor works through some of the complex issues vital to language workers in an accessible, easy-to-read style, and exercises throughout the book provide immediate ways to put the ideas into practice and experience the rewards and frustrations of this kind of language work.
