This document discusses language maintenance and shift. It explains that language shift occurs when a minority language is displaced by the language of the dominant group over time, especially in contexts of migration or military occupation. Factors that can lead to language shift include economic and social pressures associated with the dominant language, as well as demographic factors like urbanization and intermarriage. Language shift happens more slowly when minority languages are highly valued as symbols of ethnic identity. The document also discusses language death, which occurs when no one speaks a language anymore, and language loss or erosion over time. It provides strategies for maintaining minority languages, such as institutional support through education.
Hosted by Henri Broekmate (Lionbridge). Panelists Nathalie Dougall (Booking.com), Matt Romaine (Gengo), Bernie Hsu (Alibaba).
For many firms, global crowdsourcing is an unparalleled way to reduce fixed costs and dramatically enhance operating efficiency and scalability. Enterprise crowdsourcing and big data seem to be a good match, particularly as data-related work can often be broken down into tasks or projects. Managing resources and workflows at the task or unit level is at the heart of the localization industry’s expertise. Many suppliers are finding that they can easily offer adjacent services such as search relevance, sentiment analysis, data tagging, user generated content curation, transcription, and data enrichment, in a crowd model – typically in a private crowd. This panel will discuss whether localization service providers and language technology innovators are offering relevant crowd solutions. Using technology as a lens, we will also discuss whether there is a role for increased crowdsourcing as the adoption of MT drives increased post-editing work. Lastly we will exchange ideas about where the crowdsourcing opportunity sits in the framework of the “gig” economy, and whether it will thrive and grow, or crumble under the push for legislation and labor reform.

Rhetoric refers to persuasive language used to influence audiences. Effective rhetoric uses three appeals: ethos establishes the writer's credibility; pathos appeals to emotions; and logos uses facts and logic. Together these appeals can combine to craft persuasive messages tailored to specific audiences.
The document discusses factors that influence language maintenance or loss. It summarizes Giles, Bourhis and Taylor's model which identifies three main factors: 1) Status - including economic, social, and language status, 2) Demographic factors like population size and distribution, and 3) Institutional support through representation of the minority language in various institutions. Additional linguistic factors like standardization and cultural factors like emphasis on ethnic identity and community also influence whether a language is maintained or lost.
