Language Endangerment and Language Revitalization

In almost every part of the world, minority languages are being threatened with extinction. At the same time, dedicated efforts are being made to document endangered languages, to maintain them, and even to revive once-extinct languages. The book presents a comprehensive overview of language endangerment and revitalization. Among the examined aspects are: degrees of endangerment, definitions of language death, causes of endangerment, types of speakers in endangerment situations, methods of documentation. The book is of interest to a wide readership, including linguists, anthropologists, sociologists, and educators

〈共同研究プロジェクト紹介〉節連接へのモーダル的・発話行為的な制限 節連接の五段階

国立国語研究所 言語対照研究系Department of Crosslinguistic Studies, NINJAL副詞節と主節の結びつきには制限がある。その意味的及び語用論的な性質によって,結びつきが可能であったり,不可能であったりする。副詞節と主節の結びつきの関係は,五つの種類に分けることができる。これを「節連接の五段階」と呼ぶ。本共同研究プロジェクトでは,日本語における節連接の五段階に関する研究成果をもとに,主に原因・理由,条件,逆接の3種類の副詞節について,世界各地の約30の言語における,副詞節と主節の結びつきを研究している。There are restrictions on the combination of an adverbial clause with a main clause. It may or may not be possible to combine them, depending on their semantic and pragmatic nature. The relationships between an adverbial clause and a main clause can be divided into five types, which are termed the \u27five levels in clause linkage\u27. On the basis of the research on the five levels in clause linkage in Japanese, the present collaborative research project investigates the combinatory possibilities of adverbial clauses --- mainly causal, conditional, and adversative clauses --- and main clauses in close to 30 languages of the world
