Investigating Obsolescence: Studies in Language Contraction and Death - Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language
Nancy C Dorian
Languages die for political, economic and cultural reasons, and can disappear remarkably quickly. Between ten and fifty per cent of all languages currently spoken can be considered endangered, but it is only in the past ten years or so that due importance has been given to the study of contracting and dying languages.
