Endangered Languages
Like most people who have done linguistic field work for thirty years or so, I have worked on languages which are now extinct, eight of them in my case, and I have studied, and continue to study, many languages which are seriously imperiled. My experience is far from unusual, and the testimony of field workers alone would amply illustrate the extent of language loss in the world of the present era
Introduction
Throughout the Western hemisphere—indeed, throughout the world—indigenous languages are being displaced at an alarming rate. While no one knows precisely how many languages were spoken in North America prior to European contact, estimates range from 300 to 600. In what is now the United States and Canada, the number is now reduced to 210. In some respects, this is a story of remarkable resilience and resistance. But numbers alone belie the fragil…
Training for Fieldwork in Endangered-Language Communities

Conducting fieldwork under different conditions imposes very different requirements. This article addresses these conditions as they affect linguistic anthropologists and other academic professionals working in indigenous North American communities. In particular, I consider: (1) the current movement for language revitalizati…

Endangered Languages Data Summary
Local reactions to perceived language decline
In schools, from kindergarten through high school, the language of instruction was English. When students who had been taught in English left school, they were speaking English. When they married, they spoke English to their children. ‘Indians’ no longer spoke their native languages as their primary means of communication. This was the perceived state of affairs in relation to the Hualapai language in the mid 1970s. Many members of the community …

The Semiology of Orientation in Urban Space [and Comments and Reply]
According to the author, a semiology of orientation is not an examination of urbanism aimed at exposing the links between the "structure" ofhe city under discussion and the professional, economic, social, and cultural activities of its population. Nor is it a sociological study of urban space which examines how the city organizes, perceives, imposes, or inhibits its functions and social relations. It is even less a psychological or psychosociolog…
