Description:
In light of the global threat of language endangerment, minority language communities around the globe have increasingly engaged in the task of strengthening their traditional languages. This collaborative volume highlights a collection of these case studies to show how a particularly promising methodology, community based language and identity development, has been applied around the globe, with different variations and results. Those interested in language development will find helpful and practical examples of what has worked well (and what hasn't) from a diverse set of authors within a myriad of cultural and linguistic settings.
