Some endangered language groups have been the focus of efforts to reverse patterns of linguistic and cultural loss, with variable success. This book presents case studies of endangered language groups from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific (including Bisu, Iban, Iquito, Quechua, Wawa, Yi and sign languages) and of their associated knowledge and belief systems, to highlight the importance of preserving linguistic and cultural diversity. Issues of identity and pride emerge within the book, alongside discussion of language and culture policy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 225mmItem Length: 150mmItem Weight: 260gAuthor: David HirshGenre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Linguistic InsightsContributor: Maurizio Gotti (Series edited by)Release Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
