We mourn when a civilization disappears or a species becomes extinct, but not when a language fades away. What actually is lost when a language dies? What forms of knowledge are embedded in a language's structure and vocabulary? Ranging across the globe to far-off peoples, Harrison searches for answers. 304 pages, hardcover. Oxford University.
