RESEARCH ON ENDANGERED LANGUAGES IN FAMILY DOMAIN, EDUCATIONAL DOMAIN AND DOMAIN OF LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH THE GOAL OF LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE AND LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: There has been an issue regarding endangered languages in the world over five decades. It is estimated that most of the world’s languages are in danger of extinction. After the theoretical overview of the concepts of the domain of language use, language shift, language revitalization and language policy, we provide an overview of relevant research on endangered languages aimed at the process of language shift, language maintenance and language revitalization in the family domain, the domain of education and the domain of local community. We also analyze other important aspects in the process of language revitalization such as the importance of literacy in threatened language. Finally, we take into consideration the linguistic situation in Europe and possible implications of the endangered languages research to the European linguistic situation. The results of the research have shown that there are two essential domains when it comes to successful linguistic revitalization, family domain and the domain of education. It is necessary to provide transmission of endangered language and introduce endangered languages in the educational system.
