The document discusses the importance of protecting endangered languages. Minority languages are under threat due to the influence of dominant languages promoted by government policies and mass media. This loss of languages also means a loss of unique cultures and traditional knowledge. The document argues that languages can be preserved through supporting language education programs, training linguists, and promoting appreciation of other cultures.

Hieber - Language Endangerment: A History
The document summarizes the declining state of the Tofa language based on a quote from Marta Kongarayeva, a Tofa speaker born in 1930. Kongarayeva states that people have come too late to learn the Tofa language, implying that it is no longer widely spoken. She adds that nowadays the Tofa people are "numbered," suggesting the language community has dramatically decreased in size and the survival of the language is at risk.
Hieber - Language Endangerment & Nationalism
This document summarizes the history of language endangerment and extinction. It discusses how the number of languages has decreased over time due to factors like the agricultural revolution, rise of large empires and nation-states, and policies promoting dominant languages. The document also outlines typical stages of language shift and loss within communities. Finally, it reviews historical and current responses to language endangerment, including documentation efforts by missionaries, anthropologists, and modern revitalization programs.
Endangered languages
The document discusses the threat facing endangered languages around the world. It estimates that as many as half of the approximately 6,000 languages currently spoken may become extinct by the end of the 21st century. Several factors are contributing to this decline, including nation-state building processes, universal education, and the spread of dominant languages like English, French, Spanish, and Arabic. While documentation of endangered languages is important, long-term preservation requires communities where the language is spoken and transmitted between generations.
Endangered languages
This document discusses endangered languages. It defines an endangered language as one at risk of no longer being spoken as its speakers die out or shift to other languages. Languages become endangered for various reasons, such as a lack of transmission between generations, small speaker populations, war, negative attitudes, and pressure to adopt dominant languages. The document classifies languages based on their degree of endangerment from vulnerable to extinct. Losing a language can negatively impact communities by weakening cultural traditions and identity. UNESCO works to safeguard endangered languages through supporting education in local languages, collecting language data, and promoting multilingualism.
Endangered languages
This document discusses endangered languages and provides examples of languages that are extinct or nearing extinction. It notes that many of the world's smallest languages are disappearing, with estimates that half of the world's approximately 6,000 languages could be extinct within 100 years. Examples are provided of some of the last speakers of languages like Kayardild, Aka-Bo, and various Great Andamanese languages. Factors that endanger languages are discussed, including assimilation, lack of transmission to younger generations, and globalization. Responses to language endangerment include documentation efforts and revitalization programs for languages like Chitimacha and Navajo.
Language extinction
1) Languages around the world are becoming extinct at an alarming rate, with some estimates suggesting that half of the over 6,000 existing languages may be at risk of extinction.
2) There are several factors that contribute to language extinction, including a lack of new native speakers, the dominance of other languages, and the absorption of weaker languages by stronger ones through language attrition.
3) Efforts are being made to document endangered languages and revitalize them through programs involving linguists, but many argue that with each language that goes extinct, a piece of cultural history is lost forever.

Presentation endangered languages and linguistic diversity
Endangered languages are those spoken by relatively few people, often elderly, and in few communities, putting their future use in doubt. Many languages are endangered or extinct as their speakers stop passing them on. Linguistic diversity refers to the existence of multiple languages in communities. Zimbabwe has over 20 languages including English, Shona, Ndebele and minority languages like Kalanga and Sotho. Some languages like Tshwao are endangered with under 20 speakers remaining. Cameroon has high linguistic diversity with 248 languages though only French and English are official. The US has over 350 languages led by English and Spanish. Factors threatening linguistic diversity include small speaker populations, lack of government support, and languages shifting to more prestigious options

Language recovery
The document discusses the decline of indigenous languages in Canada and strategies for language revitalization. It notes that three-quarters of indigenous languages in Canada are endangered or critically endangered due to factors like the Indian Act that suppressed indigenous cultures and languages. Language revitalization aims to reverse this decline by increasing new speakers, promoting intergenerational transmission, and strengthening cultural identity. It outlines Joshua Fishman's eight stages of revitalization, including increasing informal use of the language among all age groups and establishing institutions where the language is used exclusively. Technology can also help preserve endangered spoken languages.
language death
Group 04 presented on the topic of endangered languages. The document defined language death as occurring when a language loses its last native speaker. It noted that over 7,000 languages are currently spoken but many are endangered and being replaced by more dominant languages. The types of language death were described as gradual, bottom-to-top, top-to-bottom, radical, and linguicide. Factors that can help preserve endangered languages were also discussed, such as strong ethnic identity, school programs in the language, and community involvement.
Chapter 5.sociolinguisitcs
This document discusses national and official languages, providing examples from different countries. It defines a national language as the language of a political, cultural, and social unit that symbolizes national unity, while an official language is simply used for government business. Some countries have multiple official languages but one dominant national language. Developing a national language involves selecting a variety, standardizing its structure through codification, extending its functions through elaboration, and securing its acceptance among the population through prestige planning. Linguists often play an important role in the standardization and codification of national languages.
Language death completed presentation
Language death occurs when a language is no longer spoken by anyone. Languages do not naturally die out but are instead "killed" when their speakers abandon the language due to pressures to assimilate and adopt dominant languages that have greater social and economic opportunities. There are several types of language death including sudden, radical, gradual, and bottom-to-top death. Major causes of language death include globalization, urbanization, modern education, and the pressure of dominant languages that are given more prestige and power. Efforts can be made to revive languages through programs that promote acquisition by adults, create socially integrated speaker populations, develop literacy in the language, and encourage use of the language in various social domains over time.
Optional english class 12 a
This document discusses various topics related to language, including:
1. Language change over time through processes like sound, lexical, semantic and syntactic changes.
2. Causes of language change such as economy, foreign influence, and fashion.
3. Language death which occurs when a language loses its last native speaker due to factors like natural disasters, wars, and lack of transmission to new generations.
4. Varieties of language that exist due to social factors including differences between regions, social classes, individuals, and situations.
Linguistic death
In the midst of learning and acquiring English as a second language, Fiji-Hindi speakers are already losing their first language, nearing language death.
Sociolinguistics 2
This document discusses several topics in sociolinguistics, including language contact and variation, nativization of English in India, bilingualism and multilingualism, code-switching and code-mixing, pidgins and creoles, dialects, and register and style. It explains that language contact occurs when speakers of different languages interact, leading to transfer of features between languages. In India, the prolonged contact between English and Indian languages has resulted in nativization, where English has taken on features of Indian languages. It also discusses how multilingualism has increased due to globalization, and defines concepts like pidgins, creoles, dialects, and linguistic style.
Languages of the word
There are approximately 6,000-7,000 languages spoken in the world today, with 3,000 estimated to become extinct. Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken with over 1 billion speakers. The major language families include Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic, Austronesian, and Sino-Tibetan. Writing systems developed independently in various cultures and include alphabets, abjads, syllabaries, and logographic scripts. The advent of writing coincided with the rise of agriculture and the need to record property and transactions. Linguistic diversity is threatened by a growing rate of language endangerment and extinction, with cultural and historical knowledge lost when languages disappear.
Language revitalization presentation
The document discusses language revitalization and summarizes how Sanskrit, as an example of a "dead language", has undergone aspects of revitalization such as increased use through expansion into new domains like the internet. It provides background on Sanskrit's historical importance and influence on other languages as well as current state efforts and recognition to promote the language.
Esperanto and Minority Languages
This document discusses minority languages and how Esperanto relates to them. It defines minority languages as languages traditionally used within a territory that are different from the official language and are spoken by a group smaller than the main population. It examines different types of minority languages in Italy and discusses how Esperanto shares some similarities with minority languages, such as having fewer speakers and facing indifference or hostility from non-speakers. However, it ultimately concludes that Esperanto is not a minority language itself because it has no single majority language it can be defined against and no specific bilingual community or territory. The document also discusses how Esperanto and minority language movements both view language as inherently valuable and see linguistic diversity as important to preserve.
World Englishes by Eak Prasad Duwadi
Professor Braj B. Kachru is a leading scholar in the field of world Englishes. He has authored over 25 books and 100 research papers on topics related to the spread and functions of English as a global language. Kachru pioneered the concept of different circles of English - the inner circle, outer circle and expanding circle. He has held many prestigious academic positions and received numerous awards for his contributions. N.S. Prabhu developed task-based language teaching through a project in Bangalore, India, demonstrating that students can learn effectively through non-linguistic problem-solving tasks. Suresh Canagarajah is a professor known for his work on World Englishes, second language writing
10.1.1.114.7291
This document provides an overview of the complex factors that influence societal language change and discusses implications for language planning and policy. It summarizes academic literature on the sociology of language and examines conditions that can lead to language shift, maintenance, or revitalization. While languages naturally change over time, the document argues that proactive measures through individual and collective action can help determine a language's trajectory.
Language death and language loss
Languages are dying at an alarming rate, with approximately half of the world's 6,500 languages endangered or extinct. A language dies when no one speaks it anymore. As a language's domains of use shrink and its speakers become less proficient, the language gradually dies, as seen in the case of Annie and her Aboriginal language Dyirbal. When the current generation of speakers passes away, the language will likely become extinct if not revitalized. Gradual language loss and death occurs as communities shift to majority languages in more social contexts over time.
Langauge planning and policies
This document provides an overview of language planning and policies. It defines key terms like language planning, language policy, status planning, and corpus planning. It also describes four typical ideologies that motivate language planning: linguistic assimilation, linguistic pluralism, vernacularization, and internationalism. Finally, it outlines the four main stages of the language planning process: selection, codification, implementation, and elaboration.
Varities in sociolinguistics
This document provides an overview of linguistic variation and key concepts related to dialects and registers. It discusses the differences between language and dialect, and notes that all speakers use some dialect. Dialects can be divided into regional dialects, which vary based on geography, and social dialects, which are influenced by factors like occupation, age, education, and gender. The document also examines concepts like standard vs. non-standard dialects, speech communities, linguistic styles and registers, which refer to context-specific variations in language use. Key terms discussed include idiolect, isogloss, diglossia, and the prestige often afforded to standard dialects over non-standard varieties.
World Englishes and Second Language Acquisition
This presentation examines English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), English as an International Language (EIL), and World Englishes (WE) as a challenge for Second Language Acquisition (SLA).

Language death
Language death occurs when a language's native speakers abandon it and shift to speaking another language instead. Many factors can drive this language shift, including education, employment opportunities, media influence, modernization, globalization, and urban migration away from rural communities. Over 6,000 of the original 10,000-15,000 human languages are now endangered or extinct as their native speaker populations dwindle and adopt dominant languages. Linguists argue that language diversity should be preserved and that recording grammars and dictionaries of endangered languages, teaching children in their native tongues, and developing educational materials can help prevent further language deaths.
Language death
The document discusses the importance of language and the consequences when a language dies. It states that when a language dies, the divine and human aspects of life, such as thinking and feeling, are no longer reflected in that language. It also notes that many languages are endangered with small speaker populations and children no longer learning the ancestral language. The dying of languages results in the loss of knowledge, identity, and history.

The passage discusses the Navajo code talkers during World War 2 and their contribution to the war effort. It notes that the Navajo people were a preliterate society, yet their language skills made them heroes in using their native language to create secure codes that the Japanese were never able to decipher. Their unwritten language, which was very difficult for non-Navajos to learn, proved to be a decisive factor in the battle of Iwo Jima and other key battles in the Pacific theater. The passage also discusses the definition of language and dialects, the major language families around the world and in different regions, and issues around standard languages versus many local dialects.

Linguistic imperialism imposes the ideology of dominant languages over native languages through education and social norms. It promotes the dominant language in schools, workplaces, and society in general, privileging those who speak the imperial language. This can diminish native languages and cultural identity. The document discusses how English has become dominant in Argentina through education policy and social practices, despite Spanish being the official language. It argues teachers should promote linguistic diversity and cultural identity rather than reproduce linguistic hierarchies.

History of the English Language pdf (1)
The document provides a history of the English language and how it became a global language. It discusses how English originated from various roots and became the working language of the global village due to factors like British colonialism, the power of the United States, and increasing need for international communication. The document also analyzes the three concentric circles of English - the inner circle where it is a first language, the outer circle where it is a second language, and the expanding circle where it is a foreign language. It notes how non-native English speakers now outnumber native speakers.
English: the Working Tongue of a Global Village
The document summarizes the history and spread of the English language globally. It discusses how English originated as the language of Britain but became a global language due to British colonial expansion and the power of the United States. Today, English is used internationally for business, science, aviation, and by the European Union. While only around 330 million people speak English natively, over a billion use it as a secondary language and it is taught worldwide as a foreign language. The document outlines the "three circles" model of English usage - the inner circle of native English speaking countries, the outer circle of former British colonies where it is widely used, and the expanding circle of countries where it is learned as a foreign language.

Importance of English Language and its educational objectives in teaching
English has occupied a unique position in India's educational system despite facing hostility after independence. While some political leaders opposed English, others recognized its importance for education, administration, and connecting with the global community. The constitution designated English as the official language for 15 years to allow a transition to Hindi, but faced opposition from states. English remains important internationally for science, technology, business, and as a library language. It plays a role as a lingua franca within India and is necessary for jobs, higher education, and understanding global issues. While its role was questioned after independence, English continues to be important for administration, courts, trade, and as a window to the modern world.
English as an International Language in Japan
English has become an important international language in Japan due to globalization and its economic benefits. While studying English is compulsory in Japanese schools, there are still disadvantages like the teaching style focusing on grammar translation rather than communication. To address this, reforms are needed such as adapting teaching methods to the Japanese context, training teachers for communicative language teaching, and changing exams to assess oral skills. While progress has been made, more changes are still required to improve students' motivation to learn English.
FUNCTIONS OF ENGLISH AS A LANGUAGE
This document discusses the various functions and roles of the English language. It begins by defining language and its purpose of communicating ideas. It then outlines the main functions of a language as instrumental, regulatory, interactional, and personal. Additionally, English serves as an international language, a link language that facilitates mobility between countries, a library language for accessing knowledge, a window onto other cultures of the west and east, a language for employment, trade, and science/technology. The document emphasizes how English has become a global language due to its widespread use in these many domains.

When asked about the question that among the numerous foreign languages, what should be your choice of clarity, most lamen people will say french, german, or Spanish. But none really have a legitimate idea of why?
The most commonly asked question in the language sector is the question “ Which language i should learn” The answer to this is rather not easy but challenging when we go into its depth. The days when people learned a language as a hobby are gone as languages has opened doors for full-fledged career option and opportunities, which in turn has made language learning a valuable addition to one’s professional persona. Undoubtedly there’s an upheaval in the demand for jobs in this sector more than ever. ENGLISH AS A GLOBAL LANGUAGE BY IRFAN
As global communication expands throughout the world, so does the need for a global language. A language that is recognized and understood by people everywhere. In many parts of the world that language has been established, English. In most countries around the globe the English language can be found in some form or another, whether it be an international news broadcast, such as CNN, or a Chicago Bulls tee-shirt. "What centuries of British colonialism and decades of Esperanto couldn’t do, a few years of free trade, MTV, and the Internet has. English dominates international business, politics, and culture more than any other language in human history." (Rohde) For this world to be truly global, there must be some commonality or ease of communication. "If trade and tourism around the world are going to operate and a global economy function and a global culture flourish, a widely shared, reasonably accessible language is requisite."
Anglès comunicació global
This document discusses English as a global language and the opportunities and challenges it presents. It notes that over 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide as either a native, second, or foreign language. The spread of English is linked to colonization from the 16th to 19th centuries and more recently to American economic and cultural influence. It argues that the goal in learning English should not be native-like competence but rather effective multilingual communication. Learners need awareness of how their first language and culture affects their English use as well as exposure to English from various backgrounds. The document poses questions about issues like who owns English and whether it threatens minority languages. It reflects on teaching English as a global lingua franca rather than mim

Week 12 English as an international Language.pdf
English has become the dominant global language due to its historical spread from northern Europe, its role during colonial times, and its importance in modern global domains like politics, business, education, and technology. While standard British English was established and spread, local varieties of English also developed in post-colonial countries, incorporating influences from other languages. Today, with increased globalization and interactions, English serves as a valuable lingua franca for multilingual communication worldwide between diverse linguistic communities, despite most speakers using it as a second or foreign language rather than a first language.

The document discusses linguistic imperialism and the role of English in Argentina. It notes that while Spanish is the dominant language in Argentina, English is present and taught in schools for various reasons. English is taught beginning in primary school as it provides opportunities for education, business, and tourism internationally. However, Argentina remains a monolingual society with Spanish used for all daily functions.

Finally, the reader recalls the information by testing themselves without looking at the text and reviews their notes to remember the main ideas.
Polite requests & Permission Modals
The document discusses polite and rude ways to request extensions or permission from a teacher.
A rude student directly tells the teacher they want to hand in their assignment late without explanation. The teacher denies the request and gives a zero.
