About the group
A growing number of languages are minoritized and endangered around the world due to socio-political, economic, and environmental pressures. Research is needed to understand processes of language shift, and to support the documentation and revitalization of threatened languages. The research group Language endangerment, documentation, and revitalization brings together scholars from linguistics, sociolinguistics and education to contribute to new knowledge about threatened languages. We combine expertise in language documentation and language revitalization and reclamation in several regions of the world, and specialize in collaborative research methods.
