Toward a new conceptualisation of language revitalisation
This paper outlines a new model of language revitalisation that understands language to be a characteristic of a nexus of social activities rather than an independent object. Language use is one of an overall set of factors contributing to the wellbeing of a particular community. Our model treats language as one node (or a cluster of nodes) in a complex system of interacting behaviours. Changes to another node or in the language node(s) itself ca…
Environmental Change and Sustainability of Indigenous Languages in Northern Alaska
Relatively few people under the age of 60 are fluent speakers of the various Indigenous languages of Alaska. Concurrently, climate change is severely impacting Alaska and its residents, where environments are changing far more rapidly than the majority of the planet. These factors complicate the land-language nexus and may have implications for the sustainability of Indigenous languages in Alaska and other parts of the Arctic. In this collaborati…

Work on Endangered Languages
At its annual meeting in Minneapolis this year, the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) celebrated its 90 th birthday. Among the various events marking the occasion were two symposia, one focusing on the development of various sub-disciplines in linguistics (phonetics, psycholinguistics, applied linguistics, and so on) and the other on the evolution of the society over the last nine decades (materials for both can be found at: http://www.linguist…

A note from the editors
Saving Languages
Language endangerment has been the focus of much attention and as a result, a wide range of people are working to revitalize and maintain local languages. 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…

What Does Yaghan Have to Do with Digital Technology
Digital media offers some powerful new ways to organize and transmit linguistic data. This editorial suggests that linguists need to be more aggressive in exploting the technology so that information about language is spread more rapidly and in a more efficient format. To make this point, the case of fieldwork on Yaghan is examined. Though early fieldwork was carried out on Yaghan very little about the language is known because of the way the dat…

Vowel Harmony in Oroqen
Oroqen [rtn] is a Tungusic language spoken by approximately 1,200 people in northeastern China. The data in this problem are taken from the Central dialect of the language. Due to language attrition among the Oroqen, the process of vowel harmony is being lost. Only in the language of older speakers does one find the full paradigm below

Emphatic reduplication in Oroqen and its Altaic context
Oroqen, a Tungusic language spoken in China, uses the partial reduplication of adjective stems to indicate intensity. This process of “emphatic reduplication” is widespread in Altaic languages, which raises the question of whether it might be a reflex of an archaic genetic trait of Altaic. We argue, to the contrary, that the presence of reduplication in Oroqen is the result of borrowing, most likely from a Mongolic language. Inter alia, the highl…

Language policy and the loss of Tungusic languages
Revisiting Tungusic Classification from the Bottom up
Efforts to determine the genetic relations among Tungusic languages have been dominated by a methodology that categorizes the entire family on the basis of a small number of sound correspondences and some shared inflectional morphology, despite the fact that this evidence can be interpreted in contradictory ways. The approach, styled after traditional classification, which uses a tree model, is even less successful in indicating the relationships…
Endangered Languages
This book provides an overview of the issues surrounding language loss. It brings together work by theoretical linguists, field linguists, and non-linguist members of minority communities to provide an integrated view of how language is lost, from sociological and economic as well as from linguistic perspectives. The contributions to the volume fall into four categories. The chapters by Dorian and Grenoble and Whaley provide an overview of langua…
The Suffix - Kan in Oroqen
The Tungusic language Oroqen has a number of qualitative suffixes used to express intensification, augmentation, approximation, diminution, and the like. Many of these suffixes have been previously identified, though the descriptions of their meanings are incomplete and are often in conflict. In this paper, we provide an overview of these suffixes which includes a more thorough description of their meaning and use. We then examine one of the suff…

Prepositional Analysis within the Framework of Role and Reference Grammar
Traditional analyses of prepositions have customarily overlooked, subdivided or analyzed away the category. This study, based on the theoretical framework of Role and Reference Grammar, provides a means of unifying the traditional bisection of prepositional analysis. Following an extensive review of the literature, prepositions are analyzed interactively, in terms of their functions within the clause, and componentially, in terms of their semanti…
