Synopsis

A language will become extinct every two weeks of this century; and with every extinction the prospect of a few 'national' languages dominating the world's vocal and written exchanges becomes closer. Some have argued that this simply does not matter: but in this cogent, passionate and powerfully argued book, Andrew Dalby shows us why this is wrong - not just for humankind but for the future of language itself.
