Raise awareness about language endangerment

Reference no: EM133612778

Question

Jane Hill suggests that the goal of any statistics is to serve as "calls to action". While alarming statistics raise awareness about the state of endangered languages in the world, the methods used in creating the statistics, i.e. enumeration, can ignore some important features of speakers' identities and alienate endangered speakers from their heritage languages.

Think about alternative ways to raise awareness about language endangerment. Offer at least two methods that could be used in raising awareness about endangered languages (without enumeration).
