When Languages DieMarkMolaro

Informative conversation with K. David Harrison, assistant
professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College near Philadelphia and the
author of the new book "When Languages Die: The Extinction of the
World's Languages and the Erosion of Human Knowledge". He is the
Director of Research at the Living Tongues Institute and was recently
featured in the documentary called "The Linguists" which followed
hands-on linguistic field work in countries around the world. In this
fascinating interview, Harrison discusses the critical importance of the
world's many threatened languages and the vital knowledge that each
language uniquely packages and holds for all of us. Harrison also
discusses the need for more trained linguistic personnel to go out into
some of the remotest parts of the world to document these nearly extinct
languages before they are lost to humanity forever.
