This book serves as a general reference guide to language revitalization, written not only for linguists and anthropologists, but also for language activists and community members who believe they should ensure the future use of their languages, despite their predicted loss. Drawing extensively on case studies, it sets out the necessary background and highlights central issues such as literacy, policy decisions, and allocation of resources. Its primary goal is to provide the essential tools for a successful language revitalization program, such as setting and achieving realistic goals, and anticipating and resolving common obstacles. Clearly written and informative, Saving Languages will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in the fate of small language communities around the globe. 606 $aLanguage revival 606 $aLanguage revival$vCase studies 615 0$aLanguage revival. 615 0$aLanguage revival 676 $a417/.7 700 $aGrenoble$b Lenore A$0174920 701 $aWhaley$b Lindsay J$0163028 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959877503321 996 $aSaving languages$94337351 997 $aUNINA
