Riassunto

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In linguistics, language death (also language extinction, linguistic extinction, and sometimes pejoratively as linguicide) is a process that affects speech communities where the level of linguistic competence that speakers possess of a given language idiom is decreased. A less frequently used term, glottophagy, was originated by Jean-Louis in his Calvet's Langue et colonialisme: petit traité de glottographie (Paris, 1974). Total language death occurs when there are no speakers of a given language idiom remaining in a population where the idiom was previously used (i.e. when all native speakers die). Language death may affect any language idiom, including dialects and languages. The study of language loss at the individual level focuses on what is lost — a first language (L1) or a second language (L2) — and where it is lost — in an L1 or L2 environment.
