Preserving Digital Language Materials: Some Considerations for Community Initiatives -- ConclusionThis book explores the bidirectional relationship between language and poverty, from the perspectives of linguistics, language policy and planning, economics, anthropology, and sociology. On the one hand, poverty affects language survival; in modern times the fundamental determinants of language shift and language death are economic. On the other hand, the languages people speak, or don’t speak, can influence their economic status in substantial ways, limiting or facilitating access to jobs and education and full participation in the functions of the society. The issues encompassed by the twin themes of the volume have assumed growing significance in an era of increasing globalization and accelerating change in economies, technologies and traditional social structures. They are of practical concern to people in a wide range of disciplines and professions, including politicians, educators, social workers, language planners, and others who work and live in multilingual contexts.Language and languagesEconomic aspectsLanguage maintenancePovertySociolinguisticsLanguage and languagesEconomic aspects.Language maintenance.Poverty.Sociolinguistics.306.44ES 110rvkHarbert Wayne1805199MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967187803321Language and poverty4353656UNINA
