Language death is familiar historically from the extinction of attested languages, but it continues as a contemporary phenomenon in a large and increasing number of cases. Features of the external setting, such as political and demographic subordination, disfavor transmission, as do negative attitudes within the speaker community arising from psychosocial subordination. Imperfect transmission gives rise to marked structural change in the declining language, as do one‐way borrowing and ongoing interference if language contact is intense and long lasting
