Product Information
The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern, not only among linguists and anthropologists but among all concerned with issues of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized culture. By some counts, only 600 of the 6,000 or so languages in the world are 'safe' from the threat of extinction. A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the fundamental question, 'Why is language death so important?', reviews the reasons for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact. This 2002 book contains not only intelligent argument, but moving descriptions of the decline and demise of particular languages, and practical advice for anyone interested in pursuing the subject further.

I purchased this book for my granddaughter, who is expecting a baby girl. I was very happy that the book arrived LIKE NEW! When I buy books to give away, I try to get the highest rated books. I'm very happy with this purchase. I also ordered another one exactly like it for my OTHER granddaughter, who is also pregnant with a daughter! They will deliver their baby cousins only two weeks apart! I ordered both of the same books from Thriftbook, and both are "like new"! I highly recommend! 🥇✨️
