New Book: Bridging Child Language Research to Practice for Indigenous Language Revitalization

  • This edited collection advances the dialogue between research and practice in child language acquisition for the benefit of language revitalization.
  • Many Indigenous communities in the Americas are experiencing rapid language loss, and those working in language revitalization often focus on developing programs for children.
  • Some communities voice the need for more information about child language acquisition in order to plan and administer more effective programs.
  • Acquisition of Indigenous languages is critically understudied, leaving important gaps within science and between research and practice.
  • With contributions from revitalization practitioners, as well as Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers, the papers in this volume present new and ongoing work to bridge these gaps.

Forthcoming November as a special publication of Language Documentation & Conservation.
